Global Settings - Design Defaults
Your Global Settings area is where you can configure default settings for newly created Designs and Listings. You can use the tabs shown to navigate to the page for each option.
Please note: Some of these features are now connected to existing/previous designs as well as newly created designs using our Global Inheritance feature. Please read about that feature on the Global Inheritance page before making changes in this area.
Design Defaults
There are two categories with features you can update in the Design Defaults area. Each is listed below:
Protections
These options relate to what the customer can and cannot do while editing the design. You will find matching settings in the Design Protections area for a design. The settings here will be the default settings for new designs created in your account.
Canvas Settings
Newly created designs will have these specifications by default (you can change them manually at the time of design creation).
- Enable canvas sections – This refers to the ability to create a design with different sections–each section having its own set of layers.
- Transparency – these options relate to what you will visually see on the canvas when the Background is set to Transparent or None.
To learn more about the specific function of all other options in this area, please see the Design Protections and Design Settings pages for more information.
Colors
The Colors section applies to the Color Palettes feature and the ability to make and offer specific sets of color swatches for a design. When this option is selected and the matching option in the Design Protections area for a design is linked, the selected Color Palettes will be available for customers for that design.
To select the Color Palettes that will show for customers by default for designs:
- Select the box next to the Enable Color Palettes option
- Click on the Color Palettes drop-down box and check the boxes next to the desired palette name. You can select more than one Color Palette.
Any design that is globally linked will be automatically updated to match these selections.
