How to edit a design with Brush AI in Canva

0:00Here's a pitch deck I made from a free Canva template. Let's use Brush, Canva's new AI editing model, to rework this design without starting over.

0:09Open Canva AI from the side panel, this is where you chat with the AI about the design that's open.

0:16Down by the prompt box is the model menu, currently set to Core. Open it to switch models.

0:24Core is the all-around design model. Choose Brush, the latest and fastest model built for editing. Here's what makes Brush different. Instead of generating a brand-new design from a prompt, it works on the deck you already have, changing only what you ask for and keeping your layout and content.

0:42First instruction: let's tighten up the copy. Ask Brush to make every slide title shorter and punchier, and send it. Brush reports back on what it changed. Every title is now shorter, like The Problem, Our Fix, and Competition, and the rest of each slide was left alone.

1:05Let's check the result is still a normal Canva design. Jump to slide three, which now reads Our Fix. Double-click the word Fix in the title. It's a real, live text box, not a flattened image.

1:20Type a new title, like Our Answer, and it updates right on the slide with the same font and size.

1:27With nothing selected, the next instruction applies to the whole deck. Ask Brush to restyle it in a warm sunset color palette. Done. All ten slides now use cream backgrounds, deep plum titles, and ember-orange accents, while the photos, layout, and our earlier title change stayed put.

1:50Let's confirm everything is still editable after the restyle. Open slide four, The Opportunity. Double-click the title. Even after a full restyle, it opens straight into text editing.

2:05Change it to The Big Opportunity, and the new word picks up the same sunset plum color and font. That's Brush: you pick it from the model menu, describe the change you want, and it edits the deck you already have, so every slide stays fully editable.
