The Movable Text feature lets you give customers the ability to reposition the text themselves within a specific area you define. This is ideal for products where layout flexibility adds value—like name placements on framed prints, messages around photos, or variable positioning on apparel.

It is only available for text boxes. When enabled, shoppers can click and drag the text to adjust it during personalization, creating a more interactive experience.

How to Enable Movable Text

1. Select the Text Box you want to make movable
2. Expand the Advanced toolbox in the side panel
3. Check the box labeled "Allow moving text"

Once enabled:

• The text’s bounding box turns red, showing the area within which the customer can move the text.
• This red area defines the limits—the customer won’t be able to drag the text outside of it.

How to Adjust the Movement Area

The movement area is determined by the size of the text box on the canvas.

• To allow more freedom, resize the text box larger.
• To restrict movement, shrink the text box to a tighter area.

You can adjust the text box visually on the canvas or precisely using the Transform toolbox.

Text Can Also Be Resized

When Movable Text is enabled, customers can resize the text by dragging its corners, just like they would with an uploaded image.

• The text will shrink or grow proportionally, depending on how it's dragged.
• However, it won’t shrink below the minimum font size you’ve defined in the settings.

Testing the Experience

To see how it works:

1. Double-click on the Text Box while editing your design.
2. You’ll enter “shopper mode,” where you can move and resize the text just like a shopper would. This is indicated by the boundaries turning red
3. Drag the text around, and try resizing it.
4. Click anywhere outside the box to exit customer mode.
