Log into Book Creator, then click on the hamburger / three lines located on the top left.
In the next window, click “Apps.”
Locate the Canva app section, and then click the “+” sign.
A new window will pop up. Click enable app.
Then, choose the appropriate class or classes and click done.

Now that you have connected your student’s Canva accounts with Book Creator, here’s how they can start using the two together. Students will not need to toggle back-and-forth to use both apps. Instead, Canva will open right within Book Creator. To add a Canva creation in Book Creator, follow these steps:
In a book, click on the “+” symbol on the top right.
Click “More” from the menu (with the Rocket Ship icon).
Click Canva (you may be prompted to log into your Canva account)
Canva will pop out from Book Creator! Design as you would in Canva.
When you’re finished and ready to add it to your book, click “Add to Book.”
Now, your Canva design is placed into your Book Creator book!
It’s that easy! Something to note - if you have previous designs that you would like to use, you can click on the icon that says, “All of Your Designs.” This will allow you to use anything that you have already created in Canva. Don’t forget, there are also additional options for design by clicking the three dots / “More” icon. This will open up features like Drawing, QR Codes, Building Your Own Character and more!
