How do I add text to a resource?

Once you’ve selected the text tab on the left side, you can start editing the text for your resource. Type your text into the box, then click "Add New Text Box" and it’ll appear on your resource.

To make changes, highlight the text in the text box on the left and adjust things like font, size, and color. Just a heads up, the text color will update once you click out of the color picker in the text tab.

You’ll also find a selection of symbols and special characters here.

How do I move an item on my resource?

Click the item and drag it to where you want it. You can use the padlock icon in the top toolbar to lock or unlock it. Unlocking lets you move or delete the item, while locking keeps it in place as you add more elements.

How can I remove or delete an item on my resource?

Click the item so it’s highlighted, then select the trash can icon at the top. If that doesn’t work, click the "Layers" button on the right side of the Create window. You’ll see a list of all items, and you can delete each one using the trash can icon next to it.

If you still can’t delete the item, it may be locked. Unlock it using the padlock icon in the top toolbar, then you’ll be able to move or delete it.
