Advanced customisers now make the difference between automatic and manual sizing clear. Signs follow the customer’s text by default. A chosen manual size remains in place as they edit the design, and the familiar size lock lets them return to content-driven sizing with one click.

## What’s Changed

- **One-click return to automatic width**Clicking the locked size control resizes the sign to its current content and keeps following later text or font changes
- **Stable manual sizing**Adjusting the slider, width or height keeps the padlock open and preserves that size while the customer changes text, fonts or orientation
- **Explicit locking**The padlock closes only when the customer clicks it
- **Familiar placement**The size control stays beside the width and height inputs, where customers already expect to find it
- **Frame Fit stays familiar**Frame Fit customisers keep their existing size lock because it still represents the fixed box customers expect
