Starting to Dig into Canva URLs

So I see that there’s some promise in messing with Canva URLs–the typical URL when editing a Canva preso appears to look like this:

https://www.canva.com/design/[11CharDesignID]/[22CharSessionID]/edit

which, if you want to send to someone, can be simplified to

https://www.canva.com/design/[11CharDesignID]

If you want to send a link to a particular page, right-click (or Control-click on a Mac) a page in the “Pages” tray at the bottom of the screen and choose “Copy link to this page”:

. . . that gives you a URL that looks like

https://www.canva.com/design/[11CharPresoID]/[22CharSessionID]/edit?ui=[18CharSlideID]

which can be simplified and sent to someone else as

https://www.canva.com/design/[11CharPresoID]?ui=[18CharSlideID]

[edit: this trick appears to work for Canva presentations, but not Canva docs.]
