With the new Global Editing feature, you can select and edit multiple blocks of a template at once. This makes it easy to optimize even complex designs with just a few clicks.

You can easily select text blocks, image blocks, and shapes together using the selection frame or the Shift key, and align them to the desired edge with a single click.

The selected blocks can be moved, rotated, or deleted together. If any of the actions are not permitted for one or more blocks in the selection in the settings, only the controls that are available for all blocks will be active.

For text blocks, you can adjust the font, font size, and other font properties all at once. The alignment of text blocks is based on the size of the text frame, not on the current text length. If the text frame is too large or too small for the new font, it must be adjusted manually so that the text block can be aligned correctly. Please note the “Text is truncated” message from the editor.

If multiple blocks of the same type are selected, you can adjust the color of text blocks and shapes, and the transparency of all blocks. If different settings are defined for the selected blocks, only the controls that are available for all blocks will be displayed.

Materials such as weekly menus, event schedulesor or promotional flyers often need to be updated. A printformer template can be updated by different users or teams across multiple locations. This increases the likelihood of human error, especially as your media database continues to grow. The new Image Tag feature is part of our Media Asset Management System, which enables precise control over image blocks. 

You can use tags to specify what types of images or graphics can be placed in the image blocks. When the blocks are populated with system media, users can only use images that have the tag defined for that block. Whether printed or digital, your marketing materials and documents will always look consistent and professional.

To prevent incorrect images from being placed in image blocks, you can use tags to define image categories—even within a single media set. This ensures that only images tagged with that specific tag can be placed in the blocks for which the tag is defined, such as only appetizers or only locations.

You can also use tags to specify the desired image format. This prevents portrait-oriented images from ending up in a landscape-oriented image block, which could cause layout errors.

You can also use tags to specify what types of graphics can be placed in image blocks. For example, this allows users to use only logos or only decorative elements.
