The canvas

The editor is where you tweak anything by hand. It works the same for system templates, your own templates, and finished creatives, because they're all the same kind of document underneath.

The layout

• Left: the list of layers, top to bottom.
• Center: the canvas, with guides that snap as you drag.
• Right: the settings for whatever you've selected, or brand and canvas settings when nothing is selected.
• Top: a tab for each format, the light and dark toggle, and your save state.

Getting around

• Click to select, shift-click to select more.
• Double-click text to edit it in place.
• Right-click for per-format actions, like hiding an element on just this shape.
• Drag to move, drag the handles to resize. Things snap to the guides and to each other.

The inspector

The right panel is about whatever you selected. Its header names the element (click the name to rename it), and the sections under it are the daily controls: the text, its type and color, a picture with a preview and its crop, the position. Everything else folds to a one-line row that states its value — Spacing, Effects, Motion, AI, the slot flags, data binding and agent guidance. Click a row to open it; the panel remembers what you left open. In a template editor the authoring rows start open; in a creative they start closed.

With nothing selected the panel is about the document: the canvas backdrop and center markers under View, the clip under Motion, and the template's structure (guides, clusters, BrandFit) as summary rows.

The backdrop

Deselect everything and pick a backdrop color under View. Handy when a dark creative on a black backdrop loses its edges. Your choice is remembered in your browser.

Images in a frame

An image element is a frame, and the photo covers it. Select one and use the zoom and position controls in the inspector to choose which part of the photo shows.

Edit or replace with AI

Every image slot's inspector carries an AI row; open it for one prompt box and two verbs. Edit with AI transforms the photo that's already in the slot ("make it dusk", "remove the fence in the background") — the result saves to the library as a new asset and swaps in, so the current one is never lost. Replace with AI generates fresh artwork from your description at the slot's own size and swaps it in. In both cases, describe only the artwork — subject, composition, style. Never ask for text or logos in the image; those are separate layers on top. Both use AI image credits and take a minute or two.

Generative expand

Drag the zoom below the point where the photo fills its frame and the photo floats loose inside it. Place it where you want, and a Generative expand card appears under Crop, showing how much of the frame the photo covers and what the generation will cost. Press Expand image and braaand generates the rest of the scene around your photo, matched to the original, so the frame is filled again.

A few things to know:

• The result applies to the aspect ratio you are looking at, so a wide expansion for the banner never recrops the square. Tick Apply to all aspect ratios to swap it everywhere instead.
• Every expansion lands in the asset library as a numbered version linked back to the original, so nothing is overwritten and you can always go back.
• It uses AI image credits, like generating in the image tool.
