Editor Modes

Overview Editor Modes is an admin control feature that allows you to determine which design interfaces are available to your customers when creating custom signs. You can choose to enable both the text editor and custom design options, or disable the text editor to streamline the customer experience by directing them exclusively to your custom design interface. Simple Breakdown When you disable the text editor in a customiser, your customers will only see your custom design interface - either the AI Designer, an embedded custom form, or a link to an external design page. This creates a more focused, streamlined ordering experience for customers who need to provide custom artwork or detailed design specifications. The text editor toggle gives you control over the customer journey: - Text Editor Enabled: Customers can choose between typing text directly in the customiser or switching to the custom design interface using tab navigation - Text Editor Disabled: Customers are automatically directed to the custom design interface with no tab switcher visible, creating a single, focused workflow This feature is particularly useful for shops that primarily work with customer-provided artwork, complex custom designs, or detailed form-based requirements, where the standard text editor interface may not be the primary ordering method.
