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 paramters.

Parameters in Shared URLs

  • Image Parameters: Introduced with a ? and can include:
    • density=300
    • resolution=1920x1080
    • quality=90
    • format=JPG
  • Placeholder Variables: Introduced after the resolution, quality, and format parameters. Each placeholder is represented by its unique ID and follows the ? syntax for additional customization.

Example URL:
https://variants.prod.clipup.cloud/tmpl/123456/unique-channel-id/template-id?density=300&resolution=1920x1080&quality=90&format=JPG&placeholder1=value1&placeholder2=value2

Tip: When integrating templates into your online shop, create the asset directly from the template in the Image Editor. Use the generated link to test whether all resolutions are functioning correctly.
