The design in Figma, the last touch in Canva.
Figma holds the brand truth; Canva is where the quick edits happen. Drop the approved frame in the thread, she files it in her library, and it opens in Canva as an editable design from there.
@Pati here is the Vela hero frame, final in Figma. File it so the account team can add each market's headline in Canva.
Filed in your library as the approved hero. Open in Canva there makes it an editable design, so each market can add its own headline on top.
One thing: the frame still has an open comment about the secondary font. I left it in Figma, so the question stays with the designers.
Perfect. The German version is done, it is in the thread.
Saved the German version in your files, next to the Figma original, ready for the ads and the newsletter.

What Canva and Figma do together.
Each is useful alone. Joined, they answer the question neither can on its own.
File the approved Figma frame, ready to open in Canva
Drop the approved frame in the thread and she files it in her library, where it opens in Canva as an editable design, so the people who work in Canva start from the approved artwork, not a screenshot.
Brand questions stay in Figma
When a frame still has an open comment, she flags it in the thread and leaves it in Figma, so the question stays with the designers instead of getting fixed in Canva.
Keep each finished version next to the Figma original
When the edit is done, drop the finished image in the thread and she files it in her library next to the Figma original, ready for the ad, the post or the email.
Keep brand questions in Figma, where the system lives
A note that belongs to the brand system goes back as a comment on the Figma frame, so designers answer it at the source and the Canva work never becomes a second, drifting master.
Check the Figma frame is really final before it leaves
She reads the open comment threads on the frame first, so a design with unresolved feedback is flagged before it turns into five market versions.

FAQ
Canva + Figma, answered.
What does connecting Figma and Canva together let Patricia do?
She moves approved artwork from the design system to the people who make the quick edits: drop the approved frame in the thread, she files it in her library, and it opens in Canva as an editable design from there. Brand questions go back to Figma as comments.
Does she use brand templates, resize designs or leave comments in Canva?
No. The Canva connection opens an image from her file library as an editable design. Brand templates, resizing, comments and folders are not part of it today.
Does she change designs on her own?
She never edits the Figma design itself. Reading and exporting frames run at once; by default, every Figma comment waits for an explicit yes in Slack.
Can I keep her scoped to just part of the setup?
Yes. Connect only the accounts you want her in, and the rest stays untouched. By default, every change she makes waits for your yes, and every email, post or message she drafts always does.
