Words on a design

Details with nothing picked reads Tap a piece on the design or in the list. Its words and look show here. Tap Edit all the words beside it to list every word on the design. See The editor . The foot of the window reads Details · Tap a piece to change its words and look.

Every word in one list

The list shows every word on the design as a box, in reading order: top to bottom, then left to right.

Each box has a label: the piece’s name, like Title, Badge, or Sticky note, or its part in the arrangement: Name, Class, Header, Group, Body, Footer, or a numbered one like Name 1, Caption 1, Number 1, Price 1, or Section 1.
A pixel border’s word boxes come first. See Pixel borders .
A piece with rows, like a Stat list or a Card panel, has Add a row, up to twelve rows. A Stat list has Add a column too, for a table. See The table maker .
Press Enter to go to the next box.
With no words on the design, the list reads No words on the design.

The words show on the design as you type.

Tap a word on the design

In the list, tap a word on the design to put the cursor in its box. With a piece picked, Details › Text shows the same boxes for that piece alone. A stat row’s words are on that row’s own Text page.

Samples and your own words

An empty box shows a faint Enter text, on the design and in the box. An empty bar’s name shows a faint Label. Faint words never print. An empty box prints nothing in a still, a loop, a video, or a file.
Every word you type prints, even a word that matches a sample, like Notes on a sticky note, Price on a badge, or Class on a stat row. A typed title names the design and its saved file.

Words that line up

On a new design, words line up by themselves:

A Caption’s lines sit in the middle of its box. Every line the box fits shows, and a word too long for the box gets smaller until it fits.
Each word piece puts the middle of its capital letters on the middle of its box, in every font. A Title, a Subtitle, and a Badge snapped to one middle line show their words on one line.
Words placed together share one size: a stack of Captions, a column of label cells, and the rows of a Stat list, a Choice list, a Card panel, Stat icons, and a Footer bar. A label and its value have their own sizes and share the middle line.
Label cells stacked in a column share the widest one’s width. Bars stacked in a column start their tracks on one line and share one label size.
A new text piece lands at the size its words need and grows as you type. Alignment on Details › Text sets the words’ side: Left, Center, or Right.

On designs made before, the words stay as they were.

A fig’s own words

The fig pieces, the Ticket, the Label tape, the Social post, and the QR code fill their words from the fig: its name, its numbers, and its save date. The design’s name boxes start with the fig’s name.

Type over a word, and your word stays if you change the fig.
Words you leave alone change with the new fig.
An emptied box prints nothing, and shows the fig’s word faint.
Type the fig’s word back, and the word changes with the fig again.

The word check

Every word box checks for blocked words. A blocked word shows That word is not allowed here. under its box as you type, and your words stay in the box.

Save a still, Save a loop, Save a video, and Save a file stop on a blocked word and open Details at its box, ready to type. A save from a design’s card does the same. Everyday words that only contain a blocked word pass.
