Frontend - end user

Introduction

Welcome to Kadanza GraFx Experience, your gateway to creating, managing, and producing brand-consistent materials with ease.

This manual is designed to guide end-users through every step of working in the Kadanza platform, from browsing available templates and creating projects, to reviewing previews and generating production outputs.

1. Creating projects

Step 1 – Open the Content Store

Go to the Content Store page — this is where all templates you’re allowed to use are displayed. Each template card shows a preview image, a short description, and a Create project button.

To start a new campaign:

1. Browse through the available templates.
2. Use the search bar or filters to narrow down results if needed.
3. Click Create project on the template you want to use.

Step 2 – Name Your Project

After selecting a template, a pop-up appears prompting you to name your project.

To continue:

1. Enter a descriptive project name in the Name field (e.g., Product Launch Q1 2025).
2. Click Create.

Step 3 – Select Layouts

Once you’ve created your project, the Select layouts window appears. Here, you can choose which layouts (formats) to include in your campaign.

Layouts can include:

• Print formats (like A4, A5, posters, flyers)
• Digital formats (lik social posts, banners, story ads)

To continue:

1. Review the list of available layouts: use the tabs All, Print, or Digital to filter.
2. Click each layout you want to include (you can select multiple).
3. When ready, click Create to generate your project.

Step 4 – Start Editing

After creating your project, the Editing Experience opens automatically. This is where you personalize your selected layouts using the pre-defined brand templates.

Changing variables

On the left-hand side, you’ll find the Customize panel, where all variables are listed. These can be

• Text fields – Change headlines, body text, or product names.
• Image fields – Replace visuals by uploading new images or selecting from the media library.
• Select fields – Update dynamic content like country, language, topic.

When selecting a variable, the tabs and layouts that will be affected by the changes are highlighted in the layout tabs, so you know exactly which layout will be affected by the changes made.

As you edit, all changes instantly appear in the layout previews on the right. You can switch between individual layouts using the tabs at the top.

Adding layouts

You can add extra layouts to your project after you started editing. Clicking the “+” icon in the upper right corner opens the “Add layout” modal in which you can select additional layouts. The ones that are already added to the project are greyed out and can’t be selected.

Unlinking layouts

While creating at scale means that you can update any content simultaneously in different layouts, it is possible to make changes to a specific layout only. That way, you can create a project and add exceptions to a single layout. Unlinked layouts will be highlighted in a different color. Changes made to the variables in the All layouts tab will not affect the unlinked layout. And vice versa, changes made to variables in the unlinked layout won’t affect the other layouts in the project.

Other layout options

Clicking the context menu [ … ] next to each layout opens a dropdown with different layout options. Aside from unlinking a layout, you can

• Rename a layout
• Duplicate a layout in a project
• Remove a layout from a project

Step 5 – Save and Preview

When you’re happy with your edits, click Save to keep your changes. You can always come back later to make updates — your project is saved under the Projects page.
