How to Edit an Image in an Email Template with Canva

This article covers editing images within an email template (e.g., an eSHOT) using Canva.

Before you start: Make sure you've connected your account to Canva. See Getting Started with Canva in Evolved Office for one-time setup steps.

Steps

1. Go to your eSHOT on the left panel.
2. Click the template you want to edit.
   
3. The email editor will load. Choose the banner or image you want to change.
4. Click the Canva icon on the image structure toolbar.
   
5. The Canva editor will open with your image loaded. Make your edits — add text, logos, graphics, etc.
6. When you're finished, click the Evolved Office icon at the bottom of the left-hand navigation in Canva, then Save.
   
7. Choose whether to:
8. • Save as a copy — check this box to keep your original image untouched and create a new version, or
   • Overwrite original — leave the box unchecked to replace the existing image with your edits.
     
8. Once published, your edited image will appear directly in the template — and it will also update in your Asset Manager.

Tips

• The same image, if used elsewhere, will reflect your edit in the Asset Manager too, so double check whether you want a copy or an overwrite if the image is reused in other places.
• You can switch to a different image or design entirely while inside Canva — see How to Browse Your Evolved Office Library from Within Canva for details.
• Works with both free and paid Canva accounts. A few advanced photo tools (like background remover) require a paid plan.
• For help with specific photo tools (cropping, filters, background removal, etc.), see Canva's Photo Editor guide.
