Studio is where the day-to-day work happens: it holds every design — the customer-specific copies of your templates — and gives you the tools to organize, find, and finish them. This article gives you the lay of the land.
What Studio is
Open the Studio tab in the top navigation. While the Templates tab holds your master layouts, Studio holds the items you actually fill, render, and deliver: one design per player, customer, or order. Click New Design, pick a template, and a fresh design appears, ready for a photo and details.
Studio is built for volume — a busy event can mean hundreds of designs, so the layout borrows from a file explorer: folders on the left, a grid of cards on the right.
The folder tree and the grid
The sidebar is a resizable folder tree. Create folders and subfolders to mirror your events and teams, and drag designs or whole folders to reorganize — a folder's contents move with it. Deleting a folder doesn't destroy work: designs left without a home land in a pinned Archived section at the bottom of the tree.
The grid shows the designs in the selected folder as thumbnail cards. You can adjust the thumbnail size to trade density for detail, sort by name or time, filter by flag color, hide completed designs, and search the folder with Cmd/Ctrl+F.
Design cards
Each card is one design, and it behaves like a file in a file explorer: single-click selects, double-click opens it in the editor, and Shift-click selects a range for bulk actions. Cards carry:
- A live thumbnail that refreshes automatically when the design is saved or rendered.
- A color flag you assign for your own triage — flag colors double as a filter.
- Completion status — designs are marked complete automatically when exported (or manually), and folders roll up how done they are.
- A three-dot menu (and right-click menu) with rename, duplicate, delete, and more.
- Presence indicators showing who's viewing or editing the design right now, plus a hover card with its edit history.
How Studio connects to templates and renders
Studio sits in the middle of the Templified workflow:
- Templates (Templates tab) define the layout. Creating a design copies the template into Studio.
- Designs (Studio) are where you add photos, names, and adjustments — editing a design never changes the template or other designs.
- Renders are the finished image files produced from a design. You deliver them with Send To, and past output is listed under the History tab.
If your studio splits editing across people, whole teams can be assigned to specific editors from the Studio Queue, so everyone knows which designs are theirs to finish.
Everything else in this section builds on this picture: card operations, folders, search and filters, completion, and archiving each get their own article below.
