How to use Active Updates in your designs

Using Active Updates in your designs means that your templates will be automatically pre-filled with an end-user’s contact details when they are editing your design. This helps to save them time and to better visualise how your design will work for them which could help to get you more design sales.

To use Active Updates, use the field names below in your document instead of ‘placeholder’ text so that the design automatically pre-fills with the user’s details when they open it in our editor.
