Sharing a Template

Updated

The Image Editor allows you to share templates efficiently using placeholder customization and shareable links. This guide explains how to replace and edit placeholders and generate share-links for templates.

Replace and Edit Placeholders

Customizing placeholders is a key step in preparing templates for sharing. Ensure all placeholders are appropriately configured to maintain flexibility and usability.

Steps to Replace or Edit Placeholders:

  1. Locate Placeholders
    • Identify elements marked as placeholders (e.g., text, images, shapes).
  2. Edit Placeholder Properties
    • Click on the placeholder element to open its Properties Panel.
    • Update the following attributes as needed:
      • Text Placeholders:
        • Modify default text values.
        • Adjust font styles, colors, and sizes.
        • Apply alignment and spacing adjustments.

  •  
    •  
      • Image Placeholders:
        • Replace default images with new ones.
        • Enable cropping or scaling options for replacements.

  •  
    •  
      • Shape Placeholders:
        • Change fill colors or types.
        • Adjust stroke settings and opacity.

Note: The allowed changes are limited to the template-settings. Please ask your Template-Designer, if you are missing placeholder-features.

Share-Link

The share-link feature generates a unique URL for your template, allowing stakeholders to access and use it without requiring direct access to the Image Editor or Brand Channel.

Steps to Generate a Share-Link:

  1. Prepare the Template
    • Ensure the template is finalized and placeholders are properly configured.
  2. Generate the Link
    • Click "Share Scene" from the Top-Menu in the Image Editor.
  3. Configure Sharing Options
    • Define the Filetype and Quality.
    • Select either UUID or File name and language as a Reference for Image-Replacements:
  4. Copy and Distribute the Link
    • Copy the generated URL and share it via email, chat, or other communication channels.

Note: If you are sharing as a Creator, make sure to edit only the placeholders as defined. Otherwise, you will be prompted to save the template before sharing it.

Structure of Shared URLs

The structure of shared URLs is standardized and consists of the following components, separated by "/":

  1. Main-URL: This is always https://variants.prod.clipup.cloud/tmpl.
  2. ChannelId: A unique 6-digit Channel ID identifying the channel.
  3. Channel Unique Id: An additional identifier specifying the channel.
  4. Template: The unique identifier of the template including additional parameters.

Image Parameters

Introduced with a ? and separated by &:

  • density=300
  • resolution=1920x1080
  • quality=90
  • format=JPG

Placeholder Variables (Image Replacements)

Each image placeholder in a template has its own unique Block ID — a long numeric identifier (e.g. 1782195307329). To replace an image, you append one parameter per Block ID:

 
&<BlockId>=fuuid=<image-uuid>

One Block ID = one image. Each placeholder you want to replace needs its own &<BlockId>=fuuid=<uuid> pair.

Example with three image placeholders:

 
https://variants.prod.clipup.cloud/tmpl/182544/191789785648112ca5cc64945eb233eef/1825440UiLE1y1NvJ9Y_nz4DlIouAT
  ?density=300&resolution=1000x1000&quality=90&format=JPG
  &1782195307329=fuuid=842176481e0d4d2badd6807ce23538ea
  &1782197907842=fuuid=766174450edc48eeb0853e738df0938a
  &1782198441203=fuuid=747c56e80d2b4184809dde0bce2dbc68

Common mistake: chaining multiple UUIDs onto one Block ID

Appending several =fuuid= values to a single Block ID does not work:

 
❌ &1782195307329=fuuid=<uuid-A>=fuuid=<uuid-B>=fuuid=<uuid-C>

Only the first UUID is applied; everything after it is silently ignored. This is why a template with three placeholders appears to replace only one image while the others keep their default content — the URL looks plausible, but the extra values have no effect.

 
✅ &1782195307329=fuuid=<uuid-A>&1782197907842=fuuid=<uuid-B>&1782198441203=fuuid=<uuid-C>

Finding the Block IDs

The Block IDs for a template are contained in the link generated by "Share Scene" in the Image Editor. Always start from a generated link rather than editing one by hand — the generated link already contains the correct Block ID for every replaceable placeholder, in the correct order. To swap an image, replace only the UUID after fuuid=, leaving the Block ID untouched.

Block IDs are not shown anywhere in the Image Editor interface, and a freshly generated share-link only contains the Block IDs of placeholders that were actually touched in the editor.

To get the Block ID of a placeholder into your link:

  1. Open the template in the Image Editor.
  2. Make a small change to the placeholder you want to be replaceable — e.g. swap its image for any other image.
  3. Repeat for every placeholder you intend to control via URL.
  4. Click "Share Scene" and copy the generated link.

The link now contains one &<BlockId>=fuuid=<uuid> pair per touched placeholder. From there, swap only the UUID after fuuid=, leaving the Block ID untouched.

If a Block ID is missing from your link, that placeholder was not modified before sharing — go back into the editor, touch it, and re-generate the link. If it still does not appear, the placeholder may not be configured as replaceable; contact your Template Designer or support.

Verifying a link

Because unknown or malformed parameters are ignored rather than reported as errors, always open the generated URL in a browser and confirm that every placeholder shows the expected image before distributing it. A useful test is to set the same UUID on all Block IDs — the output should show that image in every placeholder position.
