Edit your design
Click any element on the canvas to edit it. Each element is a layer you can move, resize, or delete.
Switch between the Design, Text, and HTML views. Undo works across all three, and your changes save automatically.
Use the Ask AI tab to make changes in plain language, like "Make the headline bigger."
Add merge fields (such as the owner's name or property address) and the property photo. The preview fills them in using a sample property.
Sender details: Your workspace's sender defaults from Mail Settings fill in automatically. You can change them for a single campaign.
QR code and signature: The QR code on your mailed postcard goes to the destination you set. You can also remove the QR code. The signature image uses your Sender photo.
Print check: When you click publish, the print check makes sure nothing is in the safe, stamp, or address areas.
Required issues (including invalid HTML or unsupported merge fields) must be fixed before you can publish.
Optional issues are warnings.
Design menu: Duplicate, Start over, Export HTML, and Archive (archiving is blocked if the design is in an active campaign.
