Question

In the Text Toolbar in Canva, what is the purpose of the “Copy style” option?

• A. To copy the text to the clipboard
• B. To duplicate the text box
• C. To apply the style and formatting of elements and text across the design
• D. To save the text style as a template

Hint:

To style quickly in Canva: select your styled text, click the paint roller (Copy style) icon, then click any plain text to style it instantly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding Formatting Tools in Canva:
In Canva, creating a cohesive visual design requires keeping typography consistent. Applying the same font, size, color, letter spacing, and line spacing to multiple elements manually is time-consuming.

Step 2: Role of the “Copy Style” (Paint Roller) tool:
The Copy Style tool (represented by a paint roller icon on the toolbar):
• Copies the styling properties (font family, weight, color, alignment, size) of a selected text box or graphic element.
• It does not copy the text characters themselves.
• When you click on a target element, it applies the copied styles instantly. This acts exactly like Microsoft Office's “Format Painter.”

Step 3: Verification of Options:

• (A) is wrong because standard copying of text characters is done with standard clipboard actions (Ctrl+C).
• (B) is handled by the “Duplicate” option (Ctrl+D).
• (D) describes the Canva Brand Kit setup.
• Thus, (C) is the correct, standard operational objective.
