Getting Started Customize Your Settings

With the User Settings screen under the More Options ( ) tab, you can customize the behavior and features available to you in the DesignPLUS sidebar. Settings are saved only for the current browser. If you clear your cache or use a different browser, you'll need to reset your Settings preferences.

Settings Options

Launch Sidebar

Choose the  Automatically Launch Sidebar  checkbox to launch the sidebar whenever editing content in Canvas. 

Choose the  Show Launch Button  checkbox to add a persistent launch button ( ) at the upper right instead of launching the sidebar automatically. Use the launch button instead of the hotkey combination whenever you want to open the sidebar.

Hide New User Intro Message

Check this setting to hide the new user intro message from the notifications. By default, this message will appear for all new users until they check this setting either through the User Settings  tool or in the notification itself.

Overwrite Current block with template

If this setting is enabled, the Content Block tool will overwrite the current block when a template block is added. If this setting is disabled, the template block will be added beneath the current block. This setting can be toggled from the User Settings tool or in the Content Block tool itself.

Display Quick Styles panel

The active tool in the Edit tab will display a Quick Style panel to apply quick styles to the current element. 

Enable all Advanced tools

Not recommended for beginners
Select the checkbox to enable all Advanced tools, or leave it unchecked and select the specific tools you wish to enable. All advanced tools are disabled by default for new users and must be turned on manually. 

These tools are categorized as advanced because they allow you to edit HTML and CSS code. Use them with caution and only if you feel confident working with HTML and CSS.

Enable Beta Tools

If you are feeling like trying out some new editing tools before they are officially released, check this checkbox! The sidebar will load tools that are still in the beta phase of release. Beta tools are flagged and easily discernable. Note, full functionality may not be present yet.
