App submission update: Required permissions

Hi Canva Devs!

We’ve made an important update to the Apps SDK review process.

From this week, your app will need the required permissions configured in the Developer Portal before it can be approved.

This change helps keep Canva secure and transparent. It also ensures users can make informed choices about their data when installing your app.

If your app already has the right permissions, there’s nothing you need to do :tada:

If any permissions are missing, you’ll see an alert in the Dev Toolkit when you preview your app. From there, you can directly add the required permissions:


To learn more about what permissions are required and how to configure them in the Developer Portal, read the Configuring Permissions guide.

Thanks for helping us maintain a safe and transparent platform for everyone on Canva!
