## FAQs

### What is the difference between creative automation and variable data printing?

Creative automation refers to the general process of programmatically creating or editing designs, all aspects of a design are subject to change whether colors, fonts or element position. In addition a data source can be used to update dynamic elements of the design.  Variable data printing refers specifically to using data to create variations of a specific design template. The designs thus created are then further processed in a down-stream printing workflow producing physical prints.

### Can we integrate our own assets (Sticker, Frames, Overlays)?

Yes, absolutely! Please refer to our [documentation](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/js/import-media/from-remote-source/unsplash-8f31f0/) for more information on that topic.

### Can I decide on which features to implement?

### Can I enable/ disable a function by default?

Yes, you have full control over the Editorâs UI and functionality. You can also take full control over the editing process with smart templates, lockable designs and placeholders.

### Do you offer integration support?

### Can my users edit their photos using IMG.LY SDKs when they are offline?

As the editor works client-side, a permanent internet connection isn't necessary for the editor to run properly. Once the device reconnects, available updates can be installed and the export tracking will be communicated. However, if you require the SDK to work in a purely offline environment please [contact our sales team](https://img.ly/forms/contact-sales) to request an offline license.
