In this guide, we'll help you get started in Backbone as a Designer. There are many powerful design tools in Backbone, and we think the best way to learn is to dive in!
Level 1 - Creating Tech Packs 👔
What you will need:
You'll want to have the infrastructure built out to help your team work through the creation process more quickly. It's like preparing everyone for multiple choice rather than fill in the blank!
Tips and Tricks:
If you familiarize yourself with the elements and modules that link up your products like Product Color Variants, Components, and Product Images, you'll understand how to more quickly make changes to your final Tech Pack.
Level 2 - Managing Product Revisions ✍️
What you will need:
Communicating revisions requires some back and forth between you and your partners. Here are a few tools and methods that should help communicate clearly.
Tips and Tricks:
Leverage your Image Annotator to dynamically update different parts of your products.
There's also a section of our help center dedicated to the Product Feedback and Revisions Section!
Level 3 - Creating a Design Tracker ☑️
What you will need:
To change the status of your designs as they get approved, you'll enlist the help of one of our favorite modules:
Tips and Tricks:
You can also create a more visual format to keep track of your designs by using our Line Sheets module.
Make sure you include design statuses from the get go - Refer back to Level 1 of this Article or check out how to make Admin Changes on the fly without affecting the whole system.
