Step 4 - Create a thumbnail in the Canva window

You will be presented with the window shown below. From here you can access your own designs that have been saved to Folders in Canva by clicking the Folders tab at the bottom of the menu on the left side of this new window. You can also design a new thumbnail from scratch and Publish it to your Searchie media.

NOTE: If you're on the free plan for Canva, you will not have access to Folders. Instead, look for your saved designs inside of "All Your Designs" in the Canva Integration.

Click Publish in the top-right when you are done to save your design.
