FAQs:
Q: What file formats can be published to Xibo?
A: Currently JPG and PNG image formats can be published to Xibo. We are working with the Canva team to offer more formats in the future!
Q: What about white labelling?
A: Unfortunately the Canva app cannot be white labelled.
Q: Can you just upload an image from Canva to Xibo rather than creating a new layout with each design?
A: We had to choose from one or the other, so we went for the full layout reason being it’s easier to delete the layout than it is to create it.
Q: I have an error message in Canva “Problem publishing design”?
A: If a User deletes the standard “1080p HD Landscape / 1080p HD Portrait” resoultions within their CMS, the User publishing from Canva will need to have Feature access/Permission to create resolutions in order to successfully publish.
Q: Where can I get support with the Canva app?
A: If you are a Xibo Cloud hosting customer then please open a Ticket via My Account. If you are self-hosting/on-prem then please create a topic in the Get Help section on the Xibo Community.
Q: Can I connect an on-premise CMS?
A: Yes you can, but Canva and the Xibo Canva app need access to your CMS over HTTPS to publish your designs. If your CMS is only available via HTTP, or on a private network, it will not be possible to use the app.
Q: I’m getting the following Canva connection error
{"error":"invalid_client","error_description":"Client authentication failed","message":"Client authentication failed"}?A: The error message indicates incorrect client information, manually correct your CMS credentials by visiting this link: Register | Xibo Canva Connector
