Edit the text of your content by double-clicking into a text box.
To change the font types, size, alignment and colors, use the editing toolbar.
To add more text boxes, click on Text on the left panel and select the desired type.
You can add shapes, lines, icons or photos to your content. Select Graphics on the left panel.
Then, choose a category and browse for the icon or photo you would like to add.
Or search for icons using the search toolbar.
Once you find an icon, drag and drop it onto the chosen canvas block. Use the tools on the toolbar to configure your icon size and color.
