Changelog

2021-06-22

• When Canva sends requests to the /content/resources/find endpoint, it now includes a types property in the request body. This property contains an array of content types that can appear in the response, which is in preparation for a change that will let content extensions return different types of resources (e.g. images and embeds) in a single response. The existing type property, which can only contain a string, is now deprecated.

• ​Editing extensions can now resize, reposition, rotate, and crop the user's image. To learn more, see updateLayout. This update also introduces a number of non-breaking changes to the JavaScript client. To brush up on the (new) fundamentals, see Image processing.

• When a user publishes a design via a publish extension, the designId property in the find resources request and upload request is no longer obfuscated. This makes it possible to open published designs via the Canva Button.

• When a user publishes a design via a publish extension, the upload request now includes a designId property. This property contains the ID of the user's design. This ID is obfuscated and does not change between uploads, which allows extensions to detect when a user is re-publishing a design.

• Improved the Client secret field in the Developer Portal. Previously, the key was provided as a base64url-encoded string and your app needed to convert it into a base64-encoded string. The key is now provided as a base64-encoded string.

• Editing extensions can now process images on a server, instead of via a browser. This makes it possible to perform CPU or GPU-intensive image manipulation tasks (e.g. tasks that rely on machine learning). To learn more, refer to Remote image processing.
