Q. Why can I edit the content of some designs, but not others?
A. On the Smart Designer Canvas you can't edit text on the page. Macro designs like Background hold content that is edited on the page, this lets you put whatever you want inside. To edit the content of these designs you need to save and go to the edit page. For some designs, like Advanced Cards, the content is edited inside the macro editor. You can change the content of these macros while in the Smart Designer Canvas.
Q. Why can't I edit text on the Smart Designer Canvas?
A. The Smart Designer Canvas does not have access to all the functionality of the Confluence edit page. The Smart Designer Canvas is for adding design elements to selected sections of your page. To edit the content of your page you need to save your changes and go to the Confluence edit page.
Q. Can I change the designs after I add them to the page?
A. You can edit designs as soon as you add them. Select the edit icon to open the macro editor. You can also edit the whole page after you save and return to the edit page.
Q. Can I add these design elements without using Smart Designer?
A. If you know which element you want you can just add the macro directly to the page on the Confluence edit page. The macros included in Smart Designer are:
Advanced Cards
Interactive Banner
Tabs
Background
Advanced Expand
Pop-up Dialog
Q. Can I select any type of content on my page?
A. Smart Designer can work with most types of content. The main exception is content inside tables. If you wish to format content from a table, the best option is to remove it from the table before opening Smart Designer.
