In the following window, first click on:

1.1 +New template, whereupon a selection field appears under "Templates:".

1.2 Select the editor on whose basis the template should be.

Make sure that you have previously created a template category that corresponds to the ID of the editor to be selected, so that the template can be saved and accessed correctly. (In this example, our editor is: Sticker ID:36)

1.3 Confirm your selection by clicking on "Create".

The editor starts and you can begin creating your design template.

When creating templates, you also have the template tools in the toolbar at the bottom left, which offer you the following options:

2. When using text elemets
(The text element must be selected / clicked beforehand):

2.1 Lock
When this option is activated, the text field can no longer be moved, scaled or deleted by the user. Only the content of the text field can be changed.

2.2 Block text
When this option is activated, the text and font of the text element can be locked. The content of the text field can therefore no longer be changed when this option is activated.

2.3 Always top
If this option is activated, the text element will always be on the top level when the user is designing later. The size, content and position can be changed.

(The image element must be selected / clicked beforehand):
