Editor settings
The Settings icon at the bottom of the icon rail opens a full-screen settings area with its own sidebar, separate from the gear menu in the top bar. This page covers the general sections; AI provider keys and the keyboard shortcut editor each have their own dedicated page.
Quick overview
- Click Settings at the bottom of the icon rail.
- Pick a section from the sidebar: Profile, AI Settings, Knowledge Base, Version History, Keyboard Manager, Preferences, Upload Queue, About, Radial Menu, or Support.
- Fill in a section's fields and save, if it has a save button; toggles and selects apply immediately.
- Press
Escape, or the close button, to leave Settings.

Profile
A single identity record, used to fill in contact and social presets from Text and typography and in bulk export.
| Group | Fields |
|---|---|
| Personal | Name, job title, company |
| Contact | Email, phone, website, address |
| Social media | LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter/X, Facebook |
There is only one profile; saving overwrites the previous values rather than creating a new one.
Preferences
Grouped into collapsible accordions.
| Group | Controls |
|---|---|
| Left Menu Organization | Show or hide each icon-rail tab individually, plus Show All and Hide All |
| General | Sound effects, skip startup wizard, save bulk-export images to the gallery |
| Trash Auto-Clean | Automatically empty the media trash after 1, 7, or 30 days |
| Danger Zone | Clear All Cache, which wipes your profile, templates, and preferences and resets to a blank canvas |
| Page Group Sleep | Enable or disable putting inactive page groups to sleep, a smart mode, and a delay of 30 seconds to 5 minutes |
Upload Queue
Controls how the Media library ingests files you upload.
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Concurrent uploads | 1 (sequential) up to 10, or unlimited |
| Rate limit | Unlimited, or capped at 10 to 120 images per minute |
| Max file size | 2 to 50 MB |
| Max dimension | 400 to 2400 px, or unlimited (original size kept) |
| JPEG quality | A percentage slider |
| Show progress modal | Toggle the floating upload progress popup |
Lower concurrency and a rate cap help on slower connections or rate-limited servers; raise both for fast local uploads.
Radial Menu
A compact arc-shaped menu of up to 10 shortcut slots you can summon anywhere on the canvas, useful for staying off the keyboard.
| Mode | Shortcut | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Pin | Alt+M | Toggles a persistent, draggable menu on screen |
| Quick show | Alt+Shift+M | Shows the menu briefly at your cursor, then auto-dismisses |
Assign which actions fill its slots from four categories: Panels (opening a rail tab), Tools (brush, pen variants, crop, remove background), Add (text, image, rectangle, circle, star), and Actions (share, duplicate, delete, layers panel, 3D preview, settings, board, comments, add comment).
About and Support
About shows the app name, version, and build credit. Support lists a website link and a support email address.
Where brand color and font kits live
Earlier versions kept a Brand Sets section here for saving reusable color palettes and fonts. That management now lives in the panel's Brand area outside the editor; Settings no longer has a Brand Sets entry. Any brand kit you have set up there can still be applied to templates from inside the editor, it is just no longer edited from this screen.
Step by step
Fill in your profile so contact presets and comments aren't anonymous
- Open Settings, then Profile.
- Expand the Personal, Contact, and Social Media accordions and fill in whichever fields are relevant.
- Click Save Profile. The button briefly confirms the save, and the values are now available to Text and typography contact presets, bulk export, and as the author name on new comments.
Hide rail tabs you don't use
- Open Settings, then Preferences, and expand Left Menu Organization.
- Toggle off any tab you never use; it disappears from the icon rail immediately. If that tab's flyout happened to be open, it closes.
- Use Show All or Hide All to reset the whole rail at once, rather than toggling every row by hand.
Set trash auto-clean and page-group sleep behavior
- Open Settings, then Preferences, and expand Trash Auto-Clean.
- Pick 1, 7, or 30 days; media you delete from the Media library is permanently removed once it has sat in trash longer than that.
- Expand Page Group Sleep to toggle sleep on or off, turn Smart Mode on or off, and pick a delay (30 seconds up to 5 minutes) before an inactive page group is put to sleep to save resources.
Tune the Upload Queue for your connection
- Open Settings, then Upload Queue.
- On a slow or rate-limited connection, lower Concurrent Uploads and set a Rate Limit; on a fast local upload, raise both or set them to unlimited.
- Adjust Max File Size, Max Dimension, and JPEG Quality to control how aggressively uploads are resized before they land in the library, and toggle the progress modal on or off.
Common tasks
| Task | Steps |
|---|---|
| Recover from a rail tab disappearing | Settings > Preferences > Left Menu Organization > toggle it back on, or click Show All |
| Free up space taken by deleted media faster | Lower the Trash Auto-Clean window to 1 day |
| Stop uploads from hammering a slow connection | Lower Concurrent Uploads to 1 and set a Rate Limit in Upload Queue |
| Assign a favorite action to the radial menu | Settings > Radial Menu, then pick a slot and choose from Panels, Tools, Add, or Actions |
| See what version you're running | Settings > About |
Troubleshooting
Clear All Cache has no undo
It wipes this browser's saved profile, saved templates, sound/wizard preferences, and version history, then resets the canvas to a blank page immediately. Export anything worth keeping (templates as JSON, designs via their normal export) before using it.
Recording a shortcut blocks Escape from closing Settings
If you jump into the Keyboard Manager section and start recording a new shortcut, pressing Escape only cancels that recording; you'll need a second Escape, or the close button, to leave the Settings screen.
Quick-show radial menu disappears on its own
Alt+Shift+M shows the radial menu briefly at your cursor and auto-dismisses; if you want it to stay on screen while you work, use Alt+M to pin it instead.
Keyboard shortcuts
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
Alt+M | Pin or unpin the radial menu |
Alt+Shift+M | Show the radial menu briefly at the cursor |
Escape | Close the Settings screen |
Tips
Hide tabs you don't use
If a rail tab like Board or Charts never comes up in your work, hide it from Preferences > Left Menu Organization to shorten the rail and reduce clutter.
Clear All Cache is a last resort
It wipes your saved profile, templates, and preferences on this device, with no undo. Export anything worth keeping before using it.
