## What is the Design Editor Solution?[#](#what-is-the-design-editor-solution)

The Design Editor is a pre-built configuration of the CreativeEditor SDK (CE.SDK), tailored for non-professional users to easily adapt and personalize existing templates. It’s optimized for workflows that focus on editing layout elements like text, images, and shapes — all within clearly defined design constraints.

Whether you’re building a product customization app, dynamic ad creator, or template-based marketing tool, the Design Editor brings a polished, user-friendly interface to your users — right out of the box.

## Key Features[#](#key-features)

*   **Template-based editing**  
    Empower users to customize existing templates while preserving brand integrity and layout rules.
    
*   **Smart context menus**  
    Clicking an element opens a simplified editing toolbar, showing only the most relevant actions — like replacing or cropping an image.
    
*   **Streamlined user interface**  
    The interface is designed to surface essential tools first. A “More” button reveals the full set of features for deeper editing.
    
*   **Role-based permissions**  
    Easily toggle between _Creator_ and _Adopter_ roles to define what elements users can modify, lock, or hide.
    
*   **Cross-platform support**  
    Available for Web, iOS, Android, and Desktop — all powered by the same core SDK.
