Text Objects

Overview

Text objects allow users to place editable text fields onto a template canvas. These objects are used for titles, labels, dynamic data fields, messaging, and other text‑based content.

Text objects include both content controls and styling options to ensure text remains readable, consistent, and visually aligned with the overall template design.
