Canva Falsely Blames Network Connection While Blocking File Editing

Canva displays persistent "bad network" errors that prevent users from editing presentations even when their internet connection is clearly functional — as demonstrated by their ability to submit app store reviews simultaneously. The false error attribution misleads users into troubleshooting their connection rather than the app. This blocks time-sensitive work like academic presentations with no available workaround.
