tl;dr Download starter template → Upload to design kits → Make edits in the Visual Editor → Save as template
By adapting a starter template and uploading it into Protaigé, you’ll move from theory to practice. This activity gives you direct experience with the platform’s design workflow: you’ll see how layer names map to editable fields, how the editor handles dynamic content, and how static files become campaign-ready assets.
By the end, you won’t just have a customised template for your brand — you’ll also build confidence in working inside Protaigé, applying the principles covered in earlier tutorials.
Before starting, make sure you’ve completed:
