Template Editor ​

The template editor is a visual tool for designing certificate templates. It works like a simple graphic design tool — drag, drop, and customize elements on a canvas.

Getting Started ​

  1. Open the template editor from the navigation or from within an order
  2. Choose to start from a blank canvas or an existing template
  3. Use the toolbar to add elements to your certificate

Working with Elements ​

Text ​

Add text elements for titles, descriptions, and dynamic fields. You can customize:

  • Font, size, and color
  • Alignment and positioning
  • Dynamic placeholders (e.g., recipient name, issue date)

Images ​

Upload images for logos, backgrounds, and decorative elements. Supported formats include PNG, JPG, and SVG.

Layers ​

Elements are arranged in layers. Use the layer panel to:

  • Reorder elements (bring to front, send to back)
  • Lock elements to prevent accidental changes
  • Toggle visibility while editing

Dynamic Fields ​

Dynamic fields are placeholders that get replaced with actual data when certificates are generated. Common dynamic fields include:

  • Recipient name — the full name of the certificate recipient
  • Issue date — the date the certificate was issued
  • Custom fields — any additional data from your recipient list

Saving and Using Templates ​

Once your design is ready:

  1. Click Save to store the template
  2. The template becomes available when creating order groups
  3. You can edit the template later (changes only affect future issuances)
