Updated over a year ago

Once you've added a field to a document you can make more advanced settings for it.

To open the settings for the field, hover your mouse over it and a cogwheel shall appear. Click on the cogwheel. Here you will find different editing options depending on the field.

Remember to always click save after you have made a change to a field.

Settings that can be done on all fields

Text size

You can change the text size on all fields except for the Checkbox and Link fields. Change the size either by dragging on a corner or by going into the field setting and changing it there

Move fields to another page

Is the field on the wrong page? You can easily move it to the correct one. Hover the mouse over the page number to see a preview of it.

When moving the field to the new page, it will appear in the exact same place as on the current page.

All fields have this action.

Duplicate a field

All fields can be duplicated. All settings that you have made on the field will be copied over to a brand new identical field.

Delete a field

If you want to remove a field, when clicking on the cogwheel, scroll down to the trashcan and click on it. The field will then be removed.
