Customising Your Content
1. Editing Text
Every text element in a template is fully customisable.
Change Text: Click a text box to highlight it, then type your desired message.
Adjust Formatting: Use the toolbar at the top of the editor to change fonts, adjust line spacing, and apply text effects like bold or italic.
Change Colours: Click the colour icon in the top toolbar to select a new text color. You can also enter your brand’s hex code for a perfect match.
2. Replacing Images
You can easily replace existing images with your own or choose from a library of free imagery.
Search for Images: Use the “Unsplash” or “Pexels” tabs in the left-hand panel to find professional-quality photos.
Swap Photos: Drag and drop an image from the search results or your uploaded files directly onto the existing photo in the template.
Upload Your Own: Click the “Upload” tab to add your own photos, such as your professional headshot, to the post.
3. Adding Elements and Branding
Personalise your post further by adding shapes, icons, and your own branding elements.
Insert Shapes: Click the “Elements” tab in the left panel to browse and select shapes like circles, squares, or lines.
Resize and Move: Click and drag the corners of an element to resize it, and drag the entire element to reposition it on your canvas.
Apply Brand Colors: Just like with text, you can change the colour of any added element to match your brand’s palette.
4. Adding New Text Boxes
If you need more space for your message, you can easily add additional text boxes.
Add Text: Click the “Text” tab in the left panel and select “Add Heading,” “Add Subheading,” or “Add Body” to insert a new text box.
Customise: Once added, you can edit and format the text as described in the "Editing Text" section above.
Pro Tip: You can customise your template and schedule them to post at a later date! When your post is ready to be published, simply select Schedule to set your preferred time & date.
