Visual Designer™ / Canvas Area

Add custom images to the canvas

  1. To add custom images to the canvas, first make sure that no items are currently selected. This can be done by clicking outside the canvas or pressing the esc button on your keyboard.

  2. Then, click the middle icon on the right side of the canvas--the landscape photo.

  3. Push the "Add Image" button.

  4. Find the photo you would like to add, select it, and click "Open."

  5. Wait for it to load, then rename or delete by clicking the ellipses underneath the uploaded image.

  6. To add the image to your canvas, either click the blue plus sign on the top of your uploaded image, the image itself, or drag and drop the image to your canvas.

  7. Once you have added the image to your canvas (and it is selected), you can then move, resize, and use the tools along the bottom center of the screen to flip, rotate, edit, or duplicate it.

  8. When you're finished rotating the item, click on any blank area of the canvas or press the esc button on your keyboard to deselect the item.

  9. If you need to delete an image that you've added to the canvas, select the image and click on the red trash can icon in the bottom left corner. Alternatively, select the image and press the backspace button on your keyboard.
