Studio editor basics

The Studio editor is where you customize a visual. Changes save automatically. Use page defaults for whole-page look, languages for translation, and the tile toolbar for one cell—or many—at a time.

Overview

• Autosave — Status shows Saving your changes… then All changes saved.

• Undo / Redo — Step backward or forward through edits.

• Page defaults — Symbols, text size, borders, and tile color scheme for the page.

• Languages — Add languages and translate content.

• Tile toolbar — Background, border, image controls, copy/paste, clear, link to page.

• Images — Choose Symbols, Photos, or My Uploads (including Google Drive where available).

Saving and undo

1. Edit any tile or setting.

2. Watch the header until you see All changes saved.

3. Use Undo / Redo if you need to reverse a change.

4. Use Save & leave only when the editor asks you to confirm leaving with pending work.

You do not need to click a separate Save button for normal editing.

Page defaults

1. Open Page defaults from the editor.

2. Adjust:
   • Symbols — Preferred symbol set for generation and defaults

   • Text size

   • Border: No border, Thin, Medium, or Thick

   • Tile color scheme — Default, Modified Fitzgerald, or Cortical Visual Impairment (see Tile Color Schemes Guide)

3. Changes apply to the current page.

Languages

1. Open language settings in the editor.

2. Add the languages you need.

3. Translate tile text as you edit, or apply translations across pages when prompted.

4. In Play, speech follows the language and voice settings available for that language.

Editing tiles

Edit one tile

1. Click a tile.

2. Type the display text.

3. Open the image picker to set a symbol or photo.

4. Use the floating toolbar for Background, Border, Hide/Show image, Expand/Shrink image, Copy tile, Clear content, or Reset styling.

Edit many tiles

1. Choose Select multiple or Select all.

2. Apply toolbar actions to the selection.

3. Use copy/paste to duplicate content and styling across tiles.

Rearrange

On templates that support it, drag tiles to reorder them on the board.

Sidebar: Templates and Quick Add

• Templates — Switch the layout (Studio may warn if content won’t fit).

• Quick Add — Generate words and symbols onto the board (see Quick Add in Studio). On First-Then, Quick Add is not available.

Tips

• Leave the board title blank if you don’t want a title on the PDF.

• Custom tile colors can override the page color scheme until you choose to use page colors.

• For folder-style navigation across pages, see Multi-page boards in Studio.
