- Background
Layers
The Layers section allows you to add free text and image elements to the page. Elements at the top of the list will appear on top of all the others, while elements at the bottom will be layered underneath.
Text Layers
Add a text layer by clicking 'Add text'
Then a set of options will appear below including:
- A text box - enter the text you want to appear
- Font Family - choose font family, size, and color
- Letter Spacing - put more or less space between letters in a single word
- Line Height - adjust the space between lines of text on top of each other
- Text Style - bold, italic, or underlined
- Alignment - left, center, or right
- Box Opacity - adjust the transparency of the text component
- Background Color - adds a color to your text box

Image Layers
Add an image layer by clicking 'Add Image'.
A box will appear in the preview area. Drag the purple resize icon in the bottom righthand corner of the box to adjust how much space your image takes up on the page.
When you're happy with the size, click on the upload button in the 'Image Component' area to add your image.
A panel will appear, where you will be asked to upload a new asset, or link an existing asset that you have in Plytix.
Click 'Next' and you'll be taken to the image cropper, where you can choose what portion of the image appears in the space you created. You can zoom, rotate, and move the image.
When you are happy with your selection, click 'Save'. Your image now appears in the preview.
