Now a list of all your extensions will open in front of you, click on the ‘Pin’ icon opposite to the Grammarly extension to pin it on your browser.

Now revert back to your Canva design and then wait for a few minutes for Grammarly to spell-check your content.

After a few minutes, you will notice a ‘Red Line’ under your misspelled text. Drag your cursor over the misspelled text and Grammarly will show you the correct spelling of the selected text.

Read the correct spellings and then click on it to automatically correct the misspelled text.
