FULL STORY
======================================================================

Popular online design app Canva has added a handful of new features to its 
Docs tool for creating more engaging presentations and PDFs. 

Centered around online collaboration and prettifying presentations, the 
latest update includes improved tagging and integration of the AI Magic 
Studio and tagging. 

Aimed at those with low to no design experience, the rapid-creation graphic 
design software has become a mainstay for marketing and social media teams. 
But since 2022, the company has been creeping deeper into the office space. 
It bought up data-viz firm Flourish. It dropped a surprise free PDF editor , 
added Docs. With the latest updates to the document maker, Canva continues in 
its bid to promote themselves right into the C-suite. Whats new in Canva 
Docs? 

Canvas newest tools wont revolutionize document creation - theyre more like 
helpful tweaks and additions to help avoid death by PowerPoint . For those 
who use them regularly, theyll be welcomed with open arms. Upon announcement, 
users online were very receptive. For those who dont use them, we doubt youd 
even notice the inclusion. 

On the design-side comes customizable dividers and the ability to drag 
elements to the full page-width - because why let borders spoil the fun? Were 
also seeing the fruits of that Flourish acquisition, with the promise of 
enhanced data visualizations and interactive charts. (Image credit: Canva)

is already a core part of what makes Docs tick. Now, Canva are adding more 
features from Magic Studio - although exactly what remains unspecified. 

Collaboration sees slightly less love. Alongside tagging colleagues with a 
Mention, theres the ability for anyone without a Canva account to anonymously 
collaborate on docs. Expect this to work in a similar vein to Google Docs .

software has since added extra online collaboration tools and an a
