CONTENT PLANNING
Content Planning Board
See your entire content pipeline on one canvas — from initial ideas to published pieces, with AI helping you visualize every step.
How it works
Map your content calendar
Lay out your publishing schedule on the canvas. Create columns for weeks or months and place content ideas in each slot. The infinite canvas lets you plan as far ahead as you need.
Develop ideas visually
For each piece of content, add context — target audience, key messages, reference images. Use AI to generate concept visuals or thumbnail drafts that give the team a sense of direction.
Build an asset library
Generate images, illustrations, and visual concepts with AI prompts. Collect them on the board so the team has a shared pool of assets to pull from when producing final content.
Coordinate with your team
Share the board with writers, designers, and stakeholders. Everyone sees the full pipeline, can claim tasks, leave feedback, and track progress without switching tools.
The challenge of content at scale
Content teams juggle a lot: editorial calendars, briefs, asset creation, approvals, and distribution across multiple channels. Most teams patch this together with spreadsheets, project management tools, and shared drives. The information is there, but it is scattered across tools that do not talk to each other.
A visual board brings everything into one view. When you can see your entire content pipeline laid out spatially — what is in ideation, what is in production, what is scheduled — bottlenecks become obvious and planning gets easier.
Visual planning with AI support
MyCanva adds AI generation to the planning process. This is particularly useful for content teams because so much of content work is visual. Instead of describing a thumbnail concept in a brief and hoping the designer interprets it correctly, you can generate a draft visual right on the planning board. It is not the final asset, but it communicates the creative direction far better than text alone.
AI Workflows extend this further. Set up a chain that takes a content topic, generates a headline, produces a concept image, and formats it as a card — then apply it across a batch of planned posts. The result is a content calendar that looks like a real plan rather than a list of titles in a spreadsheet.
For teams producing visual-heavy content — social media, email campaigns, blog posts with custom illustrations — having AI generation built into the planning tool saves a round trip to separate design tools during the ideation phase.
From plan to production
The board stays useful beyond the planning stage. As content moves through production, update its status on the canvas. Attach drafts, collect feedback in context, and track what has been published. Because the board is collaborative and persistent, it becomes the single source of truth for your content operation. Embed it in your team workspace so everyone — from strategists to freelancers — stays aligned.
