Recommended entry: place Canva beside the existing import actions, where users already go to add creative. This makes the integration discoverable without turning onboarding into a requirement.

↑ The proposed Canva entry starts the same familiar “add to library” job, with Canva as the source.
Connection promise: CO8 can read and export designs the user already has access to. It cannot edit or delete the original Canva designs.

What is selected: a Canva design can contain multiple pages. Counts below show both designs and pages so users know exactly how many library assets will be created.

Folder handling: Preserve Canva folders
Two visible stages: copying the selected pages is the import; analysis and tagging happen afterward and never block access to successfully copied assets.

Analysis & tagging
Landing state: “View in Creative Library” opens the actual imported results, already filtered to the Canva source and the new import batch—not another summary screen.

Imported just now · Creative Library / Canva imports
Canva is the source. If a design changes later, CO8 creates a new version and keeps the current library asset.
Optional follow-up: pattern analysis is separated from successful import. Suggestions are compared with current Brand Assets and require confirmation; nothing is overwritten automatically.
