Uploading designs for multiple product variations just got faster and more flexible with the new design linking feature in Artelo. This addition allows you to streamline the process of applying your artwork to different product sizes and ratios within a product set. Traditionally, when creating a product set with multiple design sizes, you might have found yourself individually applying each design file to its corresponding product variation. This can be time-consuming, especially when dealing with numerous products and design ratios.
The new design linking feature changes this by allowing you to "link" different product variations together. This means that when you apply a design to one linked product, it automatically populates that same design into all the other linked products.
Video Demonstration:
Here's how it works:
Create your Product Set: Start by creating a new product set and adding the various product variations you want to offer. For example, you might add designs for a 3x4 ratio, a 4x5 ratio, and an 11x14 ratio.
Default Linking: By default, all designs within a new product set are linked. This is great if you have one design file that works across all your product variations. Simply upload your design, and it will appear in all slots.
Unlinking for Flexibility: However, if you have specific design files tailored to different product ratios (like a 3x4 design file for 3x4, 6x8, 9x12 products, etc.), you can easily "unlink" products. This allows you to group products with the same ratio together.
Targeted Application: Once unlinked, you can then select a group of products (for instance, all your 4x5 ratio products) and link them. Now, when you upload and apply your 4x5 design file, it will only populate those linked 4x5 products, leaving your other product variations untouched.
Repeat for Different Ratios: You can repeat this process for each design ratio you have. Unlink the current group, link the next group of products with a different ratio, and apply the corresponding design file.
Link/Unlink all designs: The checkbox outlined in red in the screenshot allow you to link or unlink all of the designs at once.
Link/Unlink individual designs: The individual link icon buttons outlined in orange allow you to individually link designs together by aspect ratio.
