GraFx Studio

Version 0.102.2, using Studio SDK 0.102.0

Features

  • You can now add swatches to your Stylekit and use them in your template, e.g. to change the color of your text via a paragraph or character style (👉 click the color field to open the color picker, where you can go to the swatches tab to select a swatch)
