Design templates are smart and useful layout solutions, tailored to your company's graphic profile and brand. Whether it's posters, brochures, or other marketing materials, our templates ensure that all your visual content is consistent and professional. Each design template is developed in collaboration with your organization based on your needs and preferences.
Just like other files in Mediaflow, design templates can easily be made available in a media portal for everyone in your organization.
Working with Design Templates in a Media Portal
There are several ways to work with design templates in a media portal to optimize your workflows. To facilitate proofing and collaboration, versions of the templates can be saved and easily shared with colleagues.
To edit a design template, click on Use Template. Within the design template, you can easily add text and images, either directly in the template or in the right panel. From here, you can download an original, save your design document, and share it for proofing assistance.
Save your design document
As soon as you make a change in a design template, the Save button lights up, and you can save your design document. A unique link is created, allowing you to return to your design later.
Important to Save the Link!
The link to the design document is the only access point for further editing. Therefore, it is important to save it!
You can easily save the link by copying and pasting it into a text editor or bookmarking it in your browser. You can also choose to have the link sent to you in an email when the link is created. Emails sent from the Design Generator come from the address noreply@mediaflowpro.net.
It's also good to know that the link is displayed in the interface at the bottom right, where there are tools to manage the document. When the user clicks the link, it is automatically copied.
There is a usage history that allows you to review the history and also return to a specific draft of a previously saved design document. Each time a change is made to the design document, the Save button lights up, and a new draft can be created. You can open previous drafts by clicking Open. When opening a previous draft, you can always return to drafts that were saved later. The list updates every time it is displayed without needing to reload the browser.
Ability to Always Save Your Changes
We recommend that you save your changes so you can return to your design document. If you choose to close the browser window, the changes you made will not be saved.
Copy the design document
If you want to copy and create a new design document, this is done through New Link. The new document will be detached from the old one and therefore will not contain its usage history.
Delete the design document
The design document is deleted by clicking on Delete Link. This means that the design document will not be accessible to those who have received the link. You will be asked to confirm this.
Share a design document
It is easy to share a design document with another person who should have access to review or edit it. Click the Share button and fill in the email address and your details. You can use the comment field to attach a message.
Below is an example of an email from the Design Generator when you have shared a design document.
Important - When Sharing a design document
Everyone who has access to the design documentt can edit, view usage history, copy new documents, and also delete them. Anyone who has access to the link can access the design document, even if your media portal is SSO or IP-restricted.
Download a PDF or an Image (Download)
When you open and edit a Design Template, you can choose to download an original as a PDF or image file. The available file options for downloading are programmed into each template and may vary from template to template.
