How to create Invitation template with replaceable photos

Hi guys, I am trying to create a template with multiple photos I would like for my customers to be able to replace with their own photos.  Can someone please explain to me how to do this step by step? TIA!

@creynier55  With your photo selected, on the right hand side of the design tool, click ‘Make this a template object’ and enter a label (ie your photo 1, 2 etc)

rinse and repeat

There’s an old video in the help section which may help (different design tool but the principal is the same (ish)

I made a step by step once because Z’s own tutorial is so old… darned if I can actually find it again. The search for the forum is not great…

@PenguinPower  wish they’d update the help section with tutorials featuring the new design tool. It would be so much easier to link people to

  1. Add photo to perfectly fit the space
  2. Select it as ‘add template’
  3. Select ‘FILL’
  4. Add a title ( Add your own photo here)
  5. Select ‘Force customers to replace’

(without looking this is about it)

I finally found it… This thread has step by step how to make template text. Make a logo/photo template works the same basic way, there are just a few more options about whether to fit/fill the customer image..
