Overview
This article walks you through using an InDesign file as the basis for a personalisable product, so you can reuse print-ready templates you already maintain. By the end you'll have imported an InDesign layout into the design editor.
Prerequisites
You can access the product in GelatoConnect Store Link.
You have your InDesign file exported as IDML.
Step 1: Open the design editor
Open the product in Store Link and click Edit designs.
Step 2: Import the InDesign file
In the left toolbar, click Files.
Click Import InDesign and select your IDML file. The editor reads the layout, including text frames.
Step 3: Make it personalisable
Switch to the Personalize tool and turn on the layers customers can edit, applying labels and field rules (required, character limit, conditional reflow) as needed.
Step 4: Review and save
Confirm the layout renders correctly and fixed elements stay locked, then save.
Note: IDML import lets you reuse existing templates instead of rebuilding designs — useful when migrating products from tools like XMPie. |
