The MangoSign's editor is where you can customize the content you will send to your Signs. It is built from the ground up with feedback from our users, so if there are any ways we can improve it, please let us know.
Once you Edit a Template, it will open up in the MangoSign's editor for you to customize. Upon opening the editor, you will be asked if you would like to take the Editor Tour. If this is your first time using the editor, we recommend going through the Tour as it highlights some of the basic functionality and features. We also recommend that you Link your Social accounts and Set your Location as it helps with some of the smart content included in some apps/templates.
Below is a screenshot of the MangoSign's editor.
Apps -
You can find the MangoSign Apps on the left hand side of the screen for you to choose from and add to your Slide. The white icon apps on top are the Free Apps that you are welcome to use under the Free Plan. The colored icons below the white Icons are the Plus Apps. These apps are included during your free trial period, as well as with all paid plans. The Plus apps, typically pull live data and continuously stream content to your signs to keep them fresh and engaging.

Action Bar -
When you click on an element/app, you will see the Action Bar appear.

You can also, lock, hide or reorder apps/elements through the Layers Panel. Locking apps/elements is useful when you do not want certain apps/elements to be moved/modified after they have been set. For example, background images, or layers beneath your text.
