Choose a replacement from your library or stock search. Refine its fit and appearance within the design.

The preview responds while you edit, and supported changes save automatically. Undo or reset the session when you want to try again.

## How to use it in Doodi.

The steps to try it in your own workspace.

1.  ### Select an element
    
    Click a supported layer on a canvas or in Template Studio.
    
2.  ### Use its properties
    
    Change the controls available for that layer, or drag its transform handles.
    
3.  ### Finish the edit
    
    Review the result and finish the editing session. Use Version history to revisit earlier saved work.
    

## Good to know.

Answers about layer editing before you start.

### Can every visible element be edited individually?

No. Repeated, embedded or flattened elements can have editing limits. Doodi shows the supported controls; you can still annotate the area and ask for a change.

### Do I need to install fonts first?

The editor can load fonts from Google Fonts directly, including Arabic choices. Imported subset fonts may need replacing when they lack newly typed characters.

### Are transformations saved in the editable design?

Yes. Supported movement, resizing and rotation save with the layer and carry into copies and exports.

### Can I remove a layer?

Yes, for supported layers. Removing a layer also removes its nested elements. Undo and saved version history help you recover an earlier state.

## Keep the work moving.
