I'm having the issue that my thumbnail looks centred in some views, and then skewed in others. I'm not sure what dimensions to create in canva so it is consistently in the right size and orientation. Any tips?

Go into your publications Settings and scroll down to the Website section. Change the setting for "Image cropping for post thumbnails" from Smart Cropping to Centered. Substack is weird with thumbnail centering, so let me know if it solves you issue or not!

I want to make custom titles and page breaks in Adobe Express what sizes should these be?

I’ve seen some fancy page breaks but can’t figure it out!

it seems to help if you go by Substack's guidelines, and then maybe play with Center or Smart Cropping as mentioned in this thread

Social / post preview image: We recommend at least 1456 x 1048 px, but 420 x 300 px is the minimum. 14:10 is the aspect ratio for the preview images.
