Basics: DALFAST Studio guides
Getting started
- Sign in, or create a free account (Sign in, top right). You can look at templates and the Store without an account; making and editing need one.
- On Home, type or say what you want, or press Make a book, Make ads, Make a video and the others. You can also start from a template or a blank page.
- Change it in Design, then press Print & share to download, print, share or publish it.
Your work saves by itself, on this device and in your account.
Finding a template
- Open Templates in the side menu.
- Search, or filter by kind, size and style.
- Press one to see it close up, then Customise this template: it becomes your own design to change (you sign in first if you have not yet).
Using the Studio offline and installing it
Press the download icon in the top bar: the Studio saves itself to this device at once. Install it as an app from the same panel. Your work always saves on the device; smart tools, cloud saving and sharing come back when you are online.
Changing the language
Press the globe in the top bar and pick a language. Parts not translated yet stay in English. Arabic shows right to left.
Keyboard shortcuts
Press ? or the keyboard icon in the top bar for every shortcut. / jumps to the Talk to edit bar.
Drag and drop
- Drag photos, elements, text styles and blocks from the side panels onto the page; drop a photo on a photo to replace it, or on a shape to turn the shape into a photo frame.
- Drag files from your computer straight onto the page; drop several photos at once to get a tidy grid. Drop a PDF to edit it.
- Drag text from another app or web page onto the page to make a text box (a sticky note on a whiteboard).
- Drag an item onto a page thumbnail to move it to that page. Drag thumbnails, layers, chapters, video scenes and website sections to reorder them; drag projects and files into folders.
- On a phone or tablet, press and hold an item in a panel, then drag it onto the page.
