⚠️ You can switch these settings at any time while you are designing, but be aware that these changes do have consequences in terms of how much content will fit on each page. 

💡 Double check your previews and Product Sheet exports after changing document settings.

 


Pages Settings

This is an overview of the pages you have designed in your PDF. There are two types of Pages - Products and non-product pages, which we refer to as Static Pages.

Products

The Products “page” defines how your products will appear when exported via PDF.  This is where your product layouts can be edited. You only see one Products page because this serves as a template that will be applied to whichever products you choose to export via this Product Sheet Template. 

 

Static Pages

These can be used to create covers, indexes, and other helpful and/or promotional content for your PDFs. They are called Static Pages because they do not change based on the products you export with the template. 

 

💡 You can add an unlimited number of static pages. 

 


Product Page Settings

Page settings is where you create your layouts and designs for each page. There are different settings for the Products “page” and the Static (non-product) pages.

In each of the Page Setting areas, you will see a Preview area. This allows you to visualize how your styles will be applied to your Product Sheet Template. 

As you edit, the preview will appear with the new styles, however you must save changes in order to apply them permanently.

 

 ℹ️ You can choose a single product to serve as your preview product.
