If you feel limited by the Layout Library, but find starting from scratch with a Fully Editable design too time-consuming, we have the solution!
Using our new Components feature, you can effortlessly add a pre-configured panel to your page, customised to match your branding, eliminating the need to configure individual settings.
It's a simple way to create a polished and professional document, whilst giving you control of your design!
Getting started
The simplest way to get started with components is to create a new 'Blank' Fully Editable design or select Add New Page for an existing fully editable design. This will open the Document Builder, displaying a selection of pages all built using components.
You can also find a Components panel type in the panels palette, allowing you to easily add additional components to your design.
The page layouts may look familiar - this is because every page in the Layout Library has been reimagined in Fully Editable using Components!
- Use the filter to find the type of page that you're looking for.
- Click and drag any pages that you wish to add into the Document Preview window.
- Select the 'Save' button once you are happy with your selection.
- Your document design will then be ready for you to customise!
Settings
Right-click on the panel to choose a different colour from your branding or select an additional setting, such as alignment and icon position..
Fly-out menu
When you select a panel, more options can be accessed through a convenient fly-out menu.
- Edit Content
Select this option to edit the content of the panel, such as the text or image. - Resize Panel to Fit Component
Select the option to resize the panel to match the original proportions of the component. - Detach Component
Transform the pre-made component into a fully editable panel.
Detaching a component removes the ability to use pre-configured settings, and you will need to manage all settings of the panel manually. This action cannot be undone, so it's important that you're certain before making the selection.
Your branding will be automatically applied to any component you add, helping you maintain consistency with your company’s brand guidelines and ensuring a cohesive appearance throughout your document.
If you have more than one branding available and need to switch, select the second icon from the left-hand menu, followed by 'Select Default Branding'.
