Back on your spreadsheet, select boxA2.
Leave the top row empty for now, youre going to add labels to it later.
Paste your content into A2 by usingCmd+Von Mac orCtrl+Von Windows.
Despite selecting only one box, each line of text will be input into a new row.

First, widen column A to the right.
Label Your Columns
Now its time to put labels in the first row.
This allows Canva to attribute your spreadsheet values to its bulk creation system later.
