The editor at a glance
Templates and the editorIn the editor, you design a template. It opens as a separate page as soon as you edit a template or start a new one. The arrow at the top left takes you back to the template overview.
Layout
| Area | What you do there |
|---|---|
| Top bar | Template name, zoom, undo, Preview, Save and Put on display. |
| Tools on the left | Blocks, Text, Images, Layers and Donations. On the donation pages, you'll find Design, Layers and Donations there. |
| Canvas in the middle | The screen as it will look. Click elements, move them and resize them by their corners. |
| Design on the right | Colours, font and size of the selected element. If nothing is selected, you set the page background here. |
| Pages at the bottom | Switch between the Main page and the donation pages. |
The tour
When you open the editor for the first time, a short tour takes you through all the areas. Skip ends it. You can repeat it at any time using the question mark in the top bar (Show introduction).
Saving and preview
- Save keeps your changes. Next to the name, you can see whether everything is saved: “Saved” or “Unsaved”.
- Preview shows the page without selection frames, just as it looks on the screen. Edit takes you back.
- Fit sets the zoom so that the whole page is visible.
- With Snap at the bottom left, elements snap to guides as you move them, for example to the centre of the page.
If you leave the editor with unsaved changes, the Studio asks: “Leave the editor?”
Keyboard shortcuts
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + S | Save |
| Ctrl + Z | Undo |
| Ctrl + Y or Ctrl + Shift + Z | Redo |
| Delete or Backspace | Delete the selected element |
| Arrow keys | Move the selected element by one pixel, or by ten with Shift |
