Comments

The Canva REST APIs for design comments.

The comments APIs are currently provided as a preview. Be aware of the following:

There might be unannounced breaking changes.
Any breaking changes to preview APIs won't produce a new API version.
Public apps that use preview APIs will not pass the review process, and can't be made available to all Canva users.

The comments endpoint allows you to create new top-level comments on designs and reply to a top-level comment thread.
