Documents are the individual pieces of collateral that live inside a project folder e.g. brochures, web ads, signage, business cards, social media tiles etc. These documents can be edited based on the inputs available in that template. Documents may or may not require approval in order to be exported and downloaded, shared or printed.

Frequently Asked Questions

I can see an image in the library but I can’t find it when editing a template?
If you can’t find an image or library while editing a template, your administrator may have locked the template input to only specific images. This is to ensure that all collateral produced is on-brand.
