What are some ways to get around the rigidity of content design in platforms like Canva?There are applications that are simply not possible in a platform like Canva, compared to someone going into Adobe and building from scratch. What are some ways around this? Do you think using multiple platforms is wise, or should Canva be used as a backup tool in an effort to actually learn graphic design?

I think platforms like Canva were launched to tackle weaker points of software like Adobe. Canva focuses more on templates, as I'm sure you know, so it's almost like an apples and oranges kind of thing. I think multiple platforms is the way to go to get more refined editing done.

Question on: Grow.com
Joining multiple reports questionIs there a way to Join multiple reports at a few chosen columns, remove the remainder but keep all of the rows the 2 columns have?

Hi Patrick, Grow should be capable of executing this. If I'm following, it would probably be best to use the Column Cleanup transform on each report, selecting only the desired columns and the columns needed for the join first. Then, I would do a Full Join with the reports. And lastly, you can remove the join columns if desired using the Column Cleanup feature again. This should leave you with just the columns you are wanting.
Feel free to reach out to our Support team at support@grow.com and we will happily take a look at your account and help you perform the necessary joins to get the results you are after.
Additionally, here's a Help Center article reviewing Grow's Joined Report functionality: https://help.grow.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014655833-Joined-Report
