Follow these simple steps to edit and customize a creative using one of NoviSign’s ready-made templates—or start from scratch if you prefer.
Training Step 3: Edit and Customize Templates
Required Action: Start Your Creative with a Template
How to Get Started
- In the Creatives tab, click the “Create from Template” button.
- A window will open showing available templates. Choose one by clicking on it, or select the blank template to start with a fresh design.
- After choosing a template, the Creative Composer will open. This is where you can customize your content.
- At the top of the screen, type a name for your creative in the “Name” text box and add a short description (optional but helpful).
- Click the “Save” button in the top-right corner of the Creative Composer to save your work.
Tip: When choosing a template, use the drop-down menu above the templates (default is “16:9”) to select a different screen orientation—such as vertical or square. The available templates will automatically update to match the chosen screen ratio.
