Text
The text menu will allow you to add text boxes.
Warnings
When you upload an image, our system will automatically check its resolution and show a warning message if needed. More info here.
Layouts
The Layouts section provides a number of premade layouts to help you create a beautiful design.
Settings
In the Settings section, you can review some of the settings of the editor, e.g. show a grid to simplify your editing or show the bleeds.
