Scope toggles
Decide whether an edit changes every format, or just the one you're on.
Next to every setting in the inspector is a small scope chip. It names where your edit lands: on every format, or on just the one you're looking at.
The three states
| Chip | What it means |
|---|---|
ALL (outline) |
Applies to every format. Editing it changes the shared value. |
Format name, gray (e.g. 1x1) |
Naturally varies per format (position, size, font size). |
| Format name, blue | You chose to override this on this format. |
Hover a chip for a plain-language explanation of the state and what clicking it will do. Clicking toggles the scope: a shared value gets a format-only copy you can then change freely, and a format-only value is discarded so the shared one takes over again.
Why it's useful
A headline at 80px on the square might need to be 64px on the story to fit. Click the font-size chip so it shows the format name in blue, make your change, and it lands on the story only. Switch back to the square and the headline is still 80px.
Copy budgets (min/target/max characters) stay on ALL by design: copy is written once and lands on every format, so the budget is one number for the whole template. Give a single format its own budget only when that ratio genuinely needs different copy.
Treatments like Knockout and the Inverted surface choice scope the same way: usually shared across formats, but overridable per format — e.g. an element that sits on a contrast card only in the story layout can be Inverted on 9:16 alone.
Resetting
Each setting has a "reset" link that clears whichever scope is active. Reset on a blue chip drops the per-format override. Reset on an ALL chip clears the shared value and falls back to your brand.
When an element has real per-format overrides, a dot lights up on the format tab and on the layer, and a small banner appears in the inspector with a "reset all" link to wipe that format's overrides in one go.
