# Editor v2 - The Design Editor, Rebuilt

## Editor v2 - The Design Editor, Rebuilt

We rebuilt the editor. Not a coat of paint, an actual overhaul of how editing feels day to day. If you've spent time in the old editor, the first thing you'll notice is how much less it gets in your way.

### What changed

- **Edit text on the canvas.** Double-click any text component and type. No more hunting for a text field in a side panel, then checking the canvas to see what happened. You edit the raw text right where it renders, dynamic placeholders included.
- **Autosave.** Your work saves itself as you go. Close the tab mid-edit and nothing is lost. A small status indicator tells you when the design was last saved, so there's no guessing.
- **Right-click context menus.** Copy, paste, duplicate, lock, reorder, delete. Every action shows its keyboard shortcut next to it, which turns out to be the fastest way to actually learn the shortcuts.
- **A contextual toolbar.** Select a component and the tools that matter for it dock right above the canvas. Text tools for text, chart tools for charts.
- **Smoother navigation.** Pan with the mouse wheel, zoom toward your cursor, and use the bottom zoom control to fit the canvas to your screen in one click.
- **Layer visibility and locking.** Hide layers while you work on what's underneath. Locked components show a badge when selected so you know why they won't move.
- **Keyboard access throughout.** Tab through components on the canvas, and every control in the panels is reachable without a mouse. Focus states are visible everywhere.

### Why it matters

The editor is where templates are born, and template quality decides how good your generated images look. Less friction in the editor means better templates, faster. That's the whole bet.

Open any design at [imejis.io](/) and the new editor is already there. Nothing to enable, nothing to migrate.
