๐Ÿ“„ Import Page Designs

Use Import Page Designs when you want to apply the design of an existing freeform page or spread to the page you are currently editing.

The design can come from:

  • The current project
  • A previous project with the same book size

Importing the design replaces the existing contents of the selected page.

For complete instructions and page compatibility requirements, see:

Import Page Designs

๐Ÿงฉ Import Layout

Use Import Layout when you want to apply a compatible layout to an individual page.

Available layouts depend on the selected page type:

  • Freeform pages cannot use portrait layouts.
  • Portrait pages cannot use freeform layouts.
  • Incompatible layouts appear grayed out.

Import Layout changes the layout of the selected page rather than creating or copying an entire project.

๐Ÿ“š Create from Existing

Use Create from Existing when creating a new project that should retain the structure of an existing project.

This option brings over the existing:

  • Text placeholders
  • Image placeholders

Use this option when you want to reuse the project structure without copying all project assets.

๐Ÿ“ Copy Project

Use Copy Project when you need a copy of an existing project and its assets.

Copy Project also:

  • Copies contributed photos
  • Provides the option to move ads attached to the original project

For complete instructions, see:

How to Copy a Project
