How to organize the 30 day content plans in Canva

Ever since we launched The Viral Content Club®, one of the most common questions we receive is how to best organize and structure the template collections so they can be easily accessed and used on Canva.

Here's a quick breakdown on how we like to organize our files for the club.

1) Navigate to the "Your Project" section and create a folder called "The Viral Content Club". Anytime you create a new design in Canva, you want to have a proper folder structure so that you can easily organize and find your files. What we don't want is an unorganized cluttered mess. This can slow down productivity time.

2) Inside the folder "The Viral Content Club" we make 2 new folders. The first folder is for the 30 day content plan collections that you will add to Canva. The second is for the 5C Template files which are organized in a way for you to view our templates in a different format. Each folder stores everything tied to every content plan you work on, so both will work effectively.

3) I will create a new folder by clicking the plus icon at the top and clicking on "New Folder".

4) I'll input the name of choice. For this folder I am using "30 Day Content Plans" as an example and click on Create Folder. You can also create a folder called "5C Template Files" for the 5C files if you choose to add them there now or later.

5) Go into the 30 Day Content Plans folder and you can create a folder for each content plan collection or for one of choice. So for example, if you choose to start with The Sirius Collection, you can create a folder called "01 - Sirius Collection".

6) Once you've added the collection Canva template file(s) to your account, you click the three dots on the design file, click the arrow beside "Move to folder", then you click on the folder you made earlier called "The Viral Content Club" and then go into the folder "01 - Sirius Collection". Lastly, you click Move to folder and your design file will be moved to that selected folder. You can also use the search by to locate the folder, so you multiple options on how you find the right place you want to add your template files to.

7) Repeat this process for the 30 day content plan template files that you want to add to your Canva account. Once this is done, you have a direct path to finding each 30 day content plan file you work with.

TIP: One thing you can do when you add a new content plan file to its folder. Duplicate the template file and edit the name of the original design file with the text "[MASTER]" in front of the name. This way you can always duplicate that file if you need to find the file again and want to save time.

Example: [MASTER] - Content Plan Name
