Groundbreaking Tools to Supercharge Your Creativity

This release is packed with new and evolved features that will make creative workflows faster, smarter, and more capable of delivering content for any channel at scale.

Layout Presets: Design Once, Deliver Everywhere

Tired of juggling layouts for different channels? With Layout Presets, you can streamline the process like never before. Start with a default layout, then effortlessly create and manage responsive versions for print, digital, and beyond – all within a single template.

Why You’ll Love Layout Presets:

• Consistency at Scale: Keep your designs on-brand across every channel with minimal manual design effort.
• One Design, Infinite Responsive Outputs: Automatically adapt your designs for any platform and channel.
• Effortless Workflow: Quickly set up layouts, grouped by type, to stay organized in complex multichannel projects.

Forget the repetitive design adaptations – Layout Presets empower you to design once and let CHILI GraFx handle the rest.

Anchors Away! Next-Level Layout Control with Smart Anchoring

Precision meets flexibility with Smart Anchoring. Now, you can anchor frames to the page or to other frames on the page, and GraFx Studio will automatically adjust your page elements as you resize, move, or adapt your template. Anchoring ensures your carefully positioned content stays perfectly placed – no matter what design changes you make.

Why You’ll Love Smart Anchoring:

• Dynamic Repositioning: Move a frame and its anchored elements will adjust automatically to match, while maintaining design coherence.
• Flawless Alignment: Link frames to specific elements and CHILI GraFx will manage the offsets for you.
• Visual Guides: See exactly how elements are anchored with clear, intuitive guides.

Anchoring gives you full control to change the position of page frames without manual hassle. Move, resize, or adapt – everything stays perfectly positioned.

Design & Run Mode: Validate Before Going Live

Tired of guessing how data-driven content will output? With Design & Run mode, you can test data-driven templates in a controlled environment before deploying them to your live environment. It’s easy to switch seamlessly between design and validation to see how your layouts respond to your actual data, all without affecting live templates.

Why You’ll Love Design & Run Mode:

• Risk-Free Testing: Preview templates with real data without altering your production environment.
• Instant Insights: Quickly find and resolve data & design issues before they go live.
• Sleek Dark Mode: Work comfortably with an updated UI designed for focused testing.

With Design & Run Mode you’ll save time, reduce errors, and feel confident knowing your designs are ready to shine.

PDF Error Handling: Keep Your Workflow Smooth

When you’re managing large, data-driven PDF jobs, even minor errors can cause significant delays. Not anymore. With enhanced PDF Error Handling, CHILI GraFx keeps your batch outputs on track by automatically skipping failed records or pausing for immediate intervention – the choice is yours.

Why You’ll Love PDF Error Handling:

• Flexible Error Management: Choose to skip errors or pause output to address them at once.
• Real-Time Tracking: Stay informed with detailed error logs you can review or download instantly.
• Meet Your Deadlines: Keep projects moving, even when things don’t go as planned.

Keep your production running smoothly and focus on what matters most: creating amazing content.
