(Phone buzzing) - Hey, Erin. What's up? - [Erin] I've made a royal
stuff up and I need your help. - Go on. - [Erin] I gave you the wrong dates for that flyer you
uploaded to the website. I really made a mess this time. - No, you haven't. I embedded it as a link so I can change it on
Canva within minutes. - [Erin] Seriously,
within minutes? On Canva? - What's the day meant to be? - [Erin] The 23rd. - There you go. Check the website now. - [Erin] Are you kidding me? You've already done it.? That's
unreal. - That's the beauty of embedded links. You can change them in real
time and it's simple to do. - [Erin] Thank you so much. I owe you one, that's amazing. - Wanna know how to embed a
live design into your website? Stick around and I'll show you how. (upbeat music) Hi, I'm Arturo, a design educator and content lead for
nonprofits here at Canva. In today's tutorial, I'm
gonna explain what it means to embed a design
link into a website, blog or learning management system, and the benefits o
f doing so. Stick around and I'll even show you how
easy it is to embed a link within a Canva design like this website or even third party sites
like WordPress or Articulate. But before we go any further make sure you've
subscribed to our channel. That way you'll receive
notifications each time a video like this drops. Alright, let's start with the basics. Say you run a travel blog and you are regularly
uploading photos to publish on a content management
system like Blogger but one day you go to
a upload an image And you get a message like this. Do you A, purchase more storage? B, delete some older content? C. forgo posting photos altogether? or learn how to embed links so that you don't have to worry about storage limits or low times. Since you're already watching this video I hope you answer D. Embedding links not only
frees up storage space but it also enables you to edit content in real time without the need
to delete or re-upload files. Let me show you what I mean. Here's a banner
I created
on Canva using a template. To embed this design into a WordPress website, I'll go to share. Then click here and select embed. For sites like WordPress and Medium, you can simply copy the link rather than the code and then
paste it in like this. Let's check out how this looks. Now, let me show you how
easy it is to edit the image even when it's live on the site. Let's say I want to extend
the offer for another week. All I need to do is head back to Canva, And change the text like this.
Actually, while I'm here, I
might change the image as well. Something a little bit more enticing. Now, I'll refresh the page and ta-da. The design updates automatically and there's no disruption
to anyone browsing the site. That's awesome, isn't it? Wanna see something even cooler? This feature isn't just
for text and image. You can embed more complex designs like slight presentations and even videos. First, let's explore
how featuring a slight presentation could come in handy. Say you manage a
website like this and have pages of information
to share with your audience but you don't have a
blog section or a layout that supports endless scrolling. The perfect solution, a slight presentation that can feature up to a hundred pages. Now, I'm not saying you should
include a hundred pages, by any means, but it's nice
to know it's an option. Since this website is
centered around healthy eating I'll make this about Super foods. Here's a slight
presentation I made earlier. I'll grab the embed
link from the share menu and insert it into the website. Let's see what it looks like. (upbeat music) The benefits of keeping all the
text inside the presentation means you can change it
as often as you like, without even needing to log into your website's editing platform. For example, say I wanted to
include another super food. All I need to do is just
jump back into Canva change the heading from five to six, and then at an extra page to the design. When I'm done, I'll head back to the website
refresh the page, and review the changes. It really is that simple. Before we move on to embedding a video, let me show you one more trick relating to websites built on Canva. Some of you may not be aware but Canva allows you to
create simple websites like this one, which you can make from scratch or using a template. Personally, I'm a fan of the templates because you can start inspired and save a tonne of time and effort. (upbeat music) Just change the tabs like this
and add the pages you need
. I'll add a new page here for a slight presentation I
created in a separate document. Now that's ready. I'll change tabs and
grab the link to embed. I'll copy the link, then head
back to the website design and use my keyboard shortcuts to paste. This is the quickest way to add the link. You can also go to more and
then find the embed button. I'll resize this and
then it's ready to go. Let's check it out. (upbeat music) The first time I saw
that my mind was blown. Let me know in the comments
whe
ther you are as impressed by that feature as I am, and if you plan on giving it a go. Alright, last up. I'll show you how to add a training video to a learning management
system like Articulate. First, let me play it for you. (Jaz music playing) I made it from scratch
using uploaded footage and animations, and if you're new to
making videos on Canva I'd recommend watching one of our other tutorials
to help you get started. Since this design is ready to share I'll go ahead and create
a link to em
bed it. Now, I've got this. I can go to articulate (upbeat music) and copy it in here. Let's see if it worked, and boom, it's done. (upbeat music) I bet you weren't
expecting it to be so easy. It's the designs you need to focus on. Once you've got those sorted, it's smooth sailing. And even designing can be a breeze, if you use templates. Speaking of which, what do
you plan on making first? A banner, a slight presentation,
a video or something else? Let me know in the comments. I'd love to hear
how this video
has impacted your thinking. Sorry, I need to get this. Hi, Erin - [Erin] Oh yeah, that
new date I gave you? Yes. Sorry, that was wrong as well. - Ah, okay. Maybe I should show you
how to update it yourself? - [Erin] Is it easy? - Really easy. (upbeat music) Woohoo. You made it to the end. I'm guessing you find this video useful. If you think others
might benefit from it too please share it with your
friends or colleagues and hit the light button
so others can see it too. Got time
for another. Check out these topics. Oh, and don't forget to
