Each month, we provide a carousel post template called "The Monthly Edit."

While you can use the name "The Monthly Edit" for this monthly series, we recommend changing it to something unique for your brand and/or your city. For example, "The Miami Minute" or "The Tampa Times."

Here are some tips for customizing this value-packed post.

Update “City Name” and “@yourinstagramhandle” throughout these designs to your own information using Canva’s Find + Replace Feature.

On the top horizontal toolbar, Choose “File” > “Find and Replace Text” (For a keyboard shortcut use: Command, F)

Next, type “City Name” and replace with your City’s name. Choose “Replace all”

Repeat this step with “yourinstagramhandle” & replace it with your own instagram handle.
