2. Create a New Document: Click on the “Presentation” icon, and Canva will launch a new document, taking you to the editor.

Step 2: Designing Your Slide Layout

1. Choose Your Steps: Decide how many steps you want to showcase. For example, we'll create three different steps in this demo.

2. Background Color:

   • Select the background and access the color picker.
   • Click on the plus icon to enter your desired hex color code directly.

3. Adding Text Boxes:

   • Press T to add a title and position it appropriately.
   • Change text color by clicking on the plus icon or pasting in a hex code.
   • Choose your desired font style (e.g., Hmer Smith).

4. Adding Step Information:

   • Duplicate the text box for subtitles and body text.
   • Change the alignment, size, and font (e.g., Lexent Giga for subtitles, Roboto for body text) as needed.

5. Align Your Elements:

   • Activating margins can help align elements properly.
   • Group all related text boxes together to simplify editing later.

Step 3: Creating the Highlight Effect

1. Creating a Highlighting Square:

   • Press R to add a square shape behind your text of the last step.
   • Change the square's color to match your background.

2. Text Color Adjustment:

   • Change the color of the third step text to match the background color, creating a seamless highlight effect.

3. Duplicating Slides:

   • Duplicate your initial slide three times.
   • Move and adjust the highlighting square accordingly for each step, ensuring the text aligns perfectly.

Step 4: Final touches and Slide Transition

1. Creating the Cover Slide:

   • Duplicate your first page, remove unnecessary elements, and fill the background.
   • Center the title in the middle and adjust colors.

2. Adding the Final Page:

   • Duplicate the cover slide and modify the title to “Thank You” or any other closing text.

3. Adding Transitions:

   • Click between the slides and select the “Match and Move” transition. Apply it to all pages to achieve smooth moving highlights.
