SECRET to Track Canva Pages Fast: Easy Navigation Tips for Beginners

July 9, 2025

👋 Welcome back to Brand Locally!
Ever lost track of your own pages halfway through a project?
If you’re creating eBooks, reports, or slide decks in Canva, this quick tip will make your life easier — and your designs look way more polished.

Let’s jump right into it!


The Old Way: Manual Page Numbers

Before this update, if you wanted page numbers in Canva, you’d have to:

  1. Add a text box manually
  2. Type “1”, position it
  3. Copy-paste it on every page
  4. Manually change each number
  5. Repeat… 10… 20… 50 times 😩

Yeah… not ideal.


The New Way: Canva’s Auto Page Number Tool

Now Canva makes this automatic — and you can apply it to all pages in seconds.

🧪 Let’s walk through it:

  1. Open your Canva project (we’re using the Quiz Time Education presentation)
  2. Go to the left menu → Click Text
  3. Scroll down and select Page Numbers
  4. You’ll see 3 styles:
    • Numbers Only → Just “1”, “2”, “3”…
    • Page + Number → Like “Page 1”, “Page 2”
    • Page X of Y → “Page 1 of 18”, etc.

We’ll use Numbers Only for now.


✏️ Customize It Your Way

Once the number is added:

  • Resize it (we used size 50)
  • Drag it to the corner or wherever you want
  • Change the font to match your design
    • We used a clean and modern one for this demo

Now, here’s the cool part…

👉 Click the number → Select Apply to All Pages
Canva will automatically:

  • Add numbers to every page
  • Keep your custom font, size, and placement intact

Boom — your document is now professionally numbered!


🧠 Why Page Numbers Matter

Adding page numbers:

  • Makes navigation easier for readers
  • Keeps your design organized
  • Adds a layer of professional polish
    Whether it’s a lead magnet, client report, or internal doc — it just makes things feel complete.

🎉 That’s It!

You’ve just upgraded your Canva design with a one-click power move.

No more manual typing.
No more lost pages.
Just clean, consistent numbers — like magic.
