Can You Do a Table of Contents in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 2:08 pm

A table of contents is an organized list of the topics covered in a document. It is typically located at the beginning of the document so that readers can quickly find the information they are looking for.

Canva is a great platform for creating beautiful documents, and you can absolutely create a table of contents in Canva! Here’s how:

1. Open up Canva and create a new design. For the design type, select “Document.”

2. On the left-hand sidebar, you will see a “Text” tool. Select this tool and then click on the area of your design where you want to add your table of contents.

3. A text box will appear. In this text box, you will want to list out the topics covered in your document as well as the page numbers where each topic can be found.

To do this, simply type out the name of each topic and then hit the “Tab” key on your keyboard to create a tabbed indent. Then, type in the page number for that topic next to the tab. Repeat this process for each topic in your document.

PRO TIP: Canva is a great tool for creating beautiful visuals, but it is not meant for creating a table of contents. If you try to create a table of contents in Canva, you will likely end up with a messy, unorganized mess. Save yourself the trouble and use a different program to create your table of contents.

4. Once you have listed out all of the topics and page numbers, you can format your text by selecting different fonts, font sizes, colors, etc. from the options above the text box.

5. When you are finished formatting your table of contents, simply click on the “Done” button in the top-right corner of the screen.

And that’s it! You now have a beautiful table of contents in Canva!
