New design… on the Designs tab opens the design editor on Start.

The editor

The design fills the top of the screen, and the tools window is under it. Held sideways, the tabs and the tools window are on the left, and the design is on the right.
Under the top bar, four tabs read Start, Layout, Details, and Finish. Start puts pieces down. Layout moves, sizes and arranges them. Details changes a picked piece’s words and look. Finish sets the look of the whole design and saves it. See Layout and Details and Finish and share .
The tools window has a side bar on its left, the same width on every tab, with the tab’s entries. Tap an entry to show its buttons beside the side bar. Every entry fills the window.
The foot of the window names the tab and the next step, with Next at its end. Start reads Choose a template, then add figs, scenes and pieces. Layout reads its name alone with nothing picked, and Drag it on the design, or tap another piece. with a piece picked. Details reads Tap a piece to change its words and look. Finish reads Set the look of the whole design, then save it.
The top bar has Back, the design’s name with its arrangement, shape, and kit, like Enemy design · 9:16 · Game, the Undo and Redo arrows, and Done. Back goes back one tab. On Start, Back closes the editor. Done saves the design and closes the editor.
Undo and Redo work on every change to the design, up to 50 steps, from the moment the design opens: pictures, pieces, words, pens, looks, the shape, groups, and effects. A new change clears the steps ahead.
A new design opens on Start. A saved design opens on Layout.

Templates

Templates starts with the Shape row, then the five kits as cards: Game, Poster, Paper, Booth, and Studio. Tap a kit, and its arrangements show in the same window, two across, each drawn with your newest fig already in place, or the design’s own fig once it has one. Each tile has the arrangement’s name under it. On a new design, a kit card starts the design on the kit’s first arrangement. Tap another arrangement to start again from it.

A new design gets three accent colors from its fig. Its name boxes start with the fig’s name. Most other word boxes start empty, with a faint Enter text. See Words on a design .

Shape

The Shape row has three drawn shapes: Tall 9:16, Square 1:1, and Wide 16:9. Tap one, and the pieces move to fit the new shape. Pieces you placed by hand stay in place. Shape is on the Still card in Finish too.

The lean start

A new design starts lean: your fig big, its name giant, and one to three more pieces. The arrangement’s other pieces are the first tiles in its group on Start.

Full, the last button on the Look row, lays out the arrangement with every piece. The Look row is in Finish › Page look. The first button on the row goes back to the lean start. A Booth start has no Full. See Page look .

Figs and Scenes

Figs shows your figs in a grid, newest first. Scenes shows your scenes. Tap one to put it on the design:

With an empty picture box waiting, the fig or scene fills it. With none, it lands as its own picture box. A tap never swaps a fig already in a box.
Tap two figs, and two picture boxes land. On a Lineup or a Collection, each fig fills the next cell, and a new dashed cell shows after it.
A scene with clips offers its shots, Shot 1, Shot 2, and so on. A scene with no clip gives its Saved view.
With no figs yet, Figs reads No figs yet. Make one on the Figs tab. Scenes reads No scenes yet. Make one on the Scenes tab.

A fig or a scene arrives with its companions attached and off: a Frame, a Box, and a Label. Switch them on in Layout › Comes with. See Companions .

The pieces, in five groups

Under Scenes, the side bar lists the ready-made pieces in five groups: Titles and captions, Stats and charts, Boxes and frames, Stickers, and Sheets. Each group fills the window with one even grid of tiles for the design’s kit, under headings, with whole pieces apart from single ones. See Design pieces .

Titles and captions: Titles, Subtitles, Labels and callouts, and Text.
Stats and charts: Whole lists, One stat, and Charts.
Boxes and frames: Boxes, Lines and edges, and Draw your own, with the Draw with a pen tile. See Pens .
Stickers: Tickers, and Stamps and badges.
Sheets: Whole sheets, and Small pieces.

Tap a tile. The foot reads Tap to place [name].
Tap the design. The piece lands there, on the grid, and Start stays open for the next one.

A piece lands in a picture box or a Zone picked on Layout: the line over the tiles reads Into Zone. See Boxes .

Start never moves or edits a piece. Tap a piece already on the design, and the editor opens Layout with it picked.
