Previewing a Design

To preview a design, simply click on the blue "Preview" button at the top-right:

If you have multiple pages to your design, the pages will be clickable at the bottom:

Saving a Design

To save a design, click the blue "Save" button in the top-right:

Give the design a name and choose the folder where you want it to live:

Exporting a Design

First of all, you must note that currently, to use your design anywhere else in the LoftyWorks platform, you must first export your design. There is no existing feature that can pull the designs in automatically.

There are two ways to export a design: (1) via the editor or (2) via a folder action:

Export via Editor

To export a design via the editor, simply click on the blue "Download" button in the top-right:

You can export in the following formats:

Export via folder action

When browsing your folders in the Design Centre, you will find the "Download" icon in the Actions column. When clicked, you will be able to export in PDF, PNG, or JPG format:

Embedding Designs

Users can create a design in the LoftyWorks Design Centre and generate an HTML embed code.

Click the three dots in the top-right corner and then choose Embed:

An embed code will be produced for you automatically. Click the Copy button to get the code and use it elsewhere.

Additional information:

• Multiple pages are supported when generating the HTML code
• If the design HTML is already added to a webpage but is later updated, a new embed code will need to be generated and used to replace the original design for the update to be visible.
• URLs added to elements within the design are not clickable
