Open the designer
Open the designer to start a template from a blank page or to change one you already have.
The designer is where you build the layers of a template. Reach for it when you want to start from nothing, or to change a template you already have.
Start a new template
Choose New template
Open My Templates and choose New template in the header.
Look at the first page
The designer opens on one page called Page 1. It holds an empty 1080 x 1080 artboard, and the template is called Untitled design. There is no template picker and no setup wizard: the page is blank and ready.
Nothing exists in your workspace until you choose Save Template. See Save, undo and leave.
Edit a template you already have
Any of these opens the designer on an existing template:
| Where | What to choose |
|---|---|
| A card in My Templates | Edit design in the card menu |
| The template detail window | Edit design. It opens on the page you were looking at. |
| The template page | Edit design at the top right, or in the header of the Pages panel |
If the template page has unsaved changes, Kalpana asks: "You have unsaved changes. Open the design and lose them?" Cancel, save, then open the designer again.
If it does not open
- No permission. You see "You don't have permission to create templates" (or "edit templates", on an existing one) and Back to templates. Only the Owner, Manager and Designer roles can edit templates. See Members and roles.
- "This template couldn't be opened". The template failed to load. Go back and try again.
- "The designer stopped unexpectedly". Choose Back to templates, then open it again. Save often so a crash costs you little.
New designs always start at 1080 x 1080. Change the size later, from the + next to Pages or from the Artboard size. See Pages and sizes.
Try it
Choose New template. Check that Pages lists Page 1 at 1080 x 1080, the size of the sale card. Choose Go back at the top left to return to the list. The sale card is built from this blank page in Create a template from a blank page.
