Text is the part of a template you'll change most.
In Basic mode
Under Your words, type over each line. If your words run longer than the original, the text shrinks to fit its space; use − and + to set the size yourself.
To change the font across the whole post, pick a font style under Your style.
In Advanced mode
Double-click a text box on the canvas to type in place. Click anywhere else when you're done.
Select a text box and the toolbar above it has the basics: font, size, bold, italic, color and alignment. The Layers tab shows the rest in its Text section.

Sizing the box
- Corners make the text bigger or smaller.
- Sides set how wide the text runs before it wraps.
- The box grows downward as you type.
Text styles
The Text styles menu beside the font saves a look you've built — font, size, color, spacing — so you can load it onto other text later. Match all text to this copies one text box's look onto the others in the post.
Your Brand Kit's fonts are one tap away: Style tab in Advanced, Your style in Basic.
