We've made some updates to this function, so your team has more flexibility with previously suspended accounts. "Suspend" is now officially called "Archive User". This means the user's account (including their past data and designs) will be ‘archived’ when it is deactivated and it is automatically moved to the "Archived User's" tab in the admin panel. When a user's account rests in the "Archived User's" tab, it will remain there separate from all other users and is available to be restored whenever needed. There is no cap on how long a user's account can rest on the Archived User's page. If auditing your platform, you can download a sheet of these deactivated users from the same page, as a CSV file (at the bottom of the page).

To ensure a consistent experience, we've updated the styling of the panels within our HTML designer to match the look and feel of our original designer. This includes highlighting tabs and toggles in blue, allowing for exact amounts for adjustments, and easier navigation overall. Plus, you can even try it out in dark mode and be just as impressed. Ultimately, our goal is to provide a consistent and enjoyable experience for our users.

Our print guidelines tool is the perfect solution for an easy and efficient way to ensure your designs are compliant with postal regulations. This tool provides an overlay on your designs, so you can clearly identify where the postage area or folds are located. It's quick, easy, and ensures that your designs meet all print requirements. If guidelines are set, they will appear automatically. To disable the tool, or adjust the transparency of the overlay, go into the "Settings" tab, select "Preferences" and adjust your guidelines there. Try our print guidelines tool today and maximize the potential of your designs!

Are you looking for a faster way to find the perfect collaborator for your design? We're excited to announce that our partner dropdown has been updated. Now you can select any user on the platform to create a co-branded template. No more being limited to partners you've already saved. You can now find the perfect partner quickly and easily. Enjoy!

Since shipping prices have gone up, we are now offering FedEx One Rate Shipping options. This has a 2 day turnaround and is 1 flat cost regardless of the package weight. The flat cost varies by product type. For example, business cards are $13.75 flat and postcards are $19.30 flat. If multiple products are placed in your cart (like business cards and postcards), the total shipping cost will be a flat fee of $25 regardless of how many items are in your cart.

One exception to note: sign shipping rate will still be calculated upon checkout and ship between 5-7 business days.

Customize your concierge requests fields yourself at any time. We created the ability for you to edit concierge request fields yourself at any time. To do so, navigate to the Admin panel, select "Concierge" and choose "Manage Concierge Custom Fields". Here, you can apply all of the criteria needed to manage your company's concierge requests.

*To enable this feature, please reach out to your brand director.

You can now pull property photos into upload zones on our HTML builder! Just like other templates, choose an HTML design, search for a property with an address or MLS# and then apply that property's photos to your design. While we could not do this before, we're working hard to maintain the same functionality you'd expect from our original design interface — but for HTML as well! Enjoy 🙂

We wanted to create the ability to apply a tool to *multiple layers all at once. So we've created Lock Groups. This group allows you to drag several layers into a folder and apply a lock or text limitation to the entire group.Since lock options vary depending on the type of content, you can only drag layers of the same type into a lock group. i.e. text layers can have all locks applied to them (along with text limitations), whereas shapes can only have the purple, red or gray lock applied to them.If you highlight multiple items in your design, you will see these layers highlight in the layers panel. You can also hold "Shift" and select multiple layers in the layers panel itself to then add them to a lock group. Additionally, you can drag layers into another layer to automatically create a new group.

Icons appear beside the layer name to indicate what type of content that layer is:Upload zones are indicated with a blue "+" icon. They will always rest at the top of the layers panel in alphabetical order. Since upload zones can be replaced by clicking the blue "+" sign or within the design itself, we've left them outside of lock groups. This makes them easier to find to quickly replace your photos from the layers panel.Regular layers have a stacked layer icon. This consists of shapes, images (before they're set as an upload zone) and other elements that make up the design.Text limitations are represented by a "T" icon. Set certain fonts and sizes for multiple text layers all at once.Lock groups are indicated by a folder icon. Use this tool for all your other tools and apply a lock or text limitation to several layers with 1 click.If a lock or text limitation is applied to a lock group, it will still be indicated with the corresponding color palette. To keep groups clean, we apply a block of color to the end of the lock group to indicate what tool(s) was applied. Once opened, you can see the lock shade applied to all the layers hidden within that group. If there are text limitations, they will rest at the top of the layers within that group.Lock groups are predominantly for admin users. If you are a regular user, you will only be able to apply the gray lock to a layer or lock group. Admins will determine the rest of the setup. As an admin, you can see all the tools applied and you may manipulate each layer and lock group. As a regular user, you will only be able to view what was applied, but cannot modify the layers or lock groups (unless it is using the gray lock).

Property descriptions can get fairly lengthy. When choosing your property and uploading all of its content into your design, it's likely the description is so long it merges into other elements. We recognized this issue and have developed a way to create split text. When we set up your template, we define 1, 2 or more text boxes into which your property description can be split. If the description is too long, it will pour over into the next text box and still look amazing after the fact.

We've made some upgrades to the panels within the design interface! Aside from cute new icons, we made some other adjustments: To keep the look of the panel clean we’ve given image libraries a simple icon rather than using image thumbnails from files within it. If MLS photos are pulled into the template, we'll indicate the library with the address as the title and a house icon. If your marketing team makes their own library, we'll indicate it with a simple folder icon. If you're pulling photos from your account information page, it's indicated with a user icon. Whatever the case, an icon will represent what type of folder/content is being hosted. We’ve also set shapes to appear in 2 different places: As its own tab and as an image library. This gives designers and users more flexibility when designing new templates. If they're in the uploads section, they can quickly pull from the "Shapes" image library. If they're elsewhere, they can go straight to the "Shapes" tab. Plus we've grouped several tools together under the "Integrations" tab. As MAXA continues to grow, more integrations will come. As of now, we can connect with many MLS databases, Testimonial Tree and Optimal Blue (for mortgage clients). Lastly, any tools for the template itself now rest in the "Settings" tab. General specs will display immediately upon opening the tab, but you can toggle between "Preferences" and "Background."

If your platform has the Split Bill feature enabled, we can now adjust how the bill is split between 2 users on the backend. Users will not be able to adjust this themselves. We will have to set how the bill is split across the entire platform. Examples include 50/50, 60/40, 75/25 and so on. To set up please reach out to your brand director.

While we automatically populate content into your template, the design style varies from template-to-template. For darker designs, it is ideal to use lighter versions of your logo. So we created a feature to allow you or the User to upload both full color and solid white versions of your logo into your account information page. From there, we can set designs to auto-populate with either the full color version or the white version depending on what works best for each design.

Brand assets, team or holiday photos and so on are all items you might want to group into an image library that's available to all users in the platform. As an admin, you can now set this up. Go into the Admin panel, find the "Image Library" tab. From here, upload media you'd like available to your users. It’s best to use SVG files for things like logos or design elements. If you want to isolate libraries to specific user groups, go into the "User Groups" tab, select "Image Library" then check the image library for that user group.

For our clients that use our custom concierge request feature, we created the ability for you to edit and customize your concierge request form and what you want your users to fill out. To do so, navigate to the Admin panel, select "Concierge" and choose "Manage Concierge Custom Fields". To enable this feature > contact your brand director.

Transform your photos with a simple click. Our handful of filter selections is another tool you can use to make an impactful design. Preview the filter applied in real-time with your selected photo. Make it stand out by choosing a colorful, high-contrast filter or go for a more timeless look with the grayscale filter. Add your personal touch and publish your template within minutes.

We've just introduced custom text and image upload zones to templates for more detailed needs. Just ask your Brand Director if you need any additional fields to add to user's account information that can then be added to templates. We provide the following fields:

1. Image - Create a new image upload zone for user templates.

2. List - Create a dropdown of options to choose from.

3. Text Area - For descriptions, bios or anything that would require a large amount of text. No character limits.

4. Text Field - For lines of text.

New additional rotation option in the designer so you can design on printer spreads with ease! If you have a design like a 4 page, landscape brochure that is set up on a vertical print spread, the back cover will be upside down (naturally, so it’s ready to print and fold!). However, designing upside down can be difficult. So we created a rotation tool that you can easily edit your design without having to turn your head. Simply flip the page and continue creating your design.

If your marketing team wants to restrict color options on all templates in your platform, we can now limit what colors are available in the backend. This is an ideal tool for teams only wanting to use their brand colors and basic shades like black, grey and white. If applied by your Brand Director, all users would be limited to the colors your team has provided.

You can now add up to 20 properties to your designs when using our "MLS Property Search" feature! Just create a design and add your properties there, or use a preexisting design and add properties from the toolbar.

MAXA now provides AccuZIP, a targeted address list builder, for free! Unlike other companies who charge a minimum fee per address, you can now create custom mailing lists free of charge with with MAXA. Create mailing lists for your print marketing based on specific zip codes, within a radius, or both. When your order is placed, MAXA saves your mailing list for you to use again in the future.

We’ve now added the ability for *admins to schedule a training for your users straight from our platform. We are your partner to drive adoption and engagement and we know promoting and hosting trainings is a big solution. Admins will see a “Request Training” button on their Dashboard next to the “Request Design” button. You will then be redirected to our booking page to instantly set a time that works best for you. Book a meeting today to identify your training needs!

Templates can now be viewed in either 2 column or 3 column view. Our default is 3 column, but for a larger view of your templates you can switch to 2 column view!

Similar to compliance reports feature, but for all designs. This can be used as another “reports” feature, where you may send an email of all designs or designs created within a certain timeframe. A ZIP file of PDFs will be sent to the provided email. Go into the “Designs” tab in the Admin panel and choose “Bulk Export”.

Generate your own QR code on our platform! Just go to the QR code tab in the designer, paste in your URL then choose “Generate Code”. This will place your QR code on your template, where you can then customize it with a solid color or gradient.

Now that we’ve integrated with Stripe, you can manage and collect online payments straight to your business’ bank account. If you’re setting up a swag shop and want to manage payments, please alert your brand director so we can enable Stripe for your platform. Next, create an account with Stripe, disable testing on your dashboard and (one enabled) send a test order to confirm payments are processed successfully. When all is complete, you’ll be able to manage all transactions for swag in your Stripe account!

To ease your eyes and provide an overall better designing experience, we’ve pushed our tools into an actions menu and created a grouping tool in the layers panel. To create a group, select the folder icon and place your layers within the group. You can also drag a layer into another layer to automatically create a new group. Groups can be renamed or deleted. If you delete a group with content in it, you will get a pop-up confirming the deletion of the group and its content.

Create and upload users all at once using a CSV file without having to email your brand strategist. Place all the information you’d like to populate in each user’s account in an organized CSV file, then upload it using the “User Imports” option in your user dropdown. When the page opens, drag your file in, review the list and start your import. This will create user accounts with the information provided.

When creating templates for your users, you can set images in your template to replace with property photos pulled from your MLS feed. To do so, be sure to set up images to replace with property photos (right click your image, choose “Image Replace” > “Property” > “Image 1”. Be sure to set your images in chronological order). Once your template is ready, open the design and choose properties from your MLS. As you choose each property, you will be able to add in a certain amount of images depending on how the template is set up. When all MLS data is set, choose to create your template and your photos will automatically populate into your design. If you want to add in new photos from your property, just start a new search or open the image library for that property to initiate the same search and you can pull in more photos there.

Admins can now share designs with specific user groups. Open your design and select “Share” on the top right (next to your notification bell). Select “Send in Email” and after filling out all the other fields choose the “Select User Group” dropdown to specify the group you’d like to share your design with.

You can view templates in categories, but they are blocked from being opened with a customizable message. The block + view templates applies to the entire category — not per design.

We've introduced subfolders to better organize your files. Select the "Actions" menu on existing folders to move them into another, or open a folder and create a new folder within it.

We’re giving admins the ability to view all text and image replacements that have been set on a template. It will be in the form of a toggle that can be initiated or turned off in the layers panel. Upon turning on, it will highlight set images and text in green. If you select an image or text box, whatever it has been set as will appear in the left-hand panel. Note: if an image is set as an upload zone, but is not set to replace with anything, it will not highlight.

Perfect for when you already have a design created that you like and then want to add the MLS property data.

This is also game changer for admins since they can unlock all layers and copy everything into a new master template they want to work on.

Now users can order multiple items to print in our new shopping cart, allowing you to pay for everything at once and only be billed for shipping once. Big request. Finally deployed.

We are integrated with TestimonialTree.com and Experience.com  - MAXA has developed an additional integration where the user can not only find their testimonial within the designer and add it to their design, but they can also search for their favorite testimonial before opening the design and it will populate the testimonial into the template if we set it.

We added a page for users to see the company's most used marketing templates to give them an idea of what's popular.

With our new Categories page, admins can create infinite sub-categories within a category when the limit used to be 5. So admins can be more creative with how they want to organize the templates within a category.

If admins want to create a marketing template where the users do not have the ability to edit the template with our designer but they can still download the design with their contact and additional account information, this is now possible through MAXA.

*If you would like to use this feature please contact your brand director.

To manage all of your mailing lists, select your user dropdown and choose "Mailing Lists." From there, you can add or remove lists and even set your primarily used mailing list so it always rests at the top.

Many of our clients have users that are licensed within multiple states. We now have the ability to allow users to choose which state disclaimer they want on their marketing materials right before they launch a template in the designer.

‍*If you would like to use this feature please contact your brand director.

Following up on our previous Designer enhancement allowing you to preview the CSS properties of classes, you can now search classes by their names, properties, and values – all from the Style Manager.

Today, finding the exact class you want is a manual effort for users who build projects with large amounts of classes – unless you can remember the class name.

Not only can you find the class you want through class name or property, but you can also search the values applied to a class – like text values (ex: blue, hidden, none), color values (ex: RGBA, HEX, or HSB), or numerical values (ex: 100, 10).

Now you can search classes by their property, color, or name all from the Style Manager.

Our platform is proud to offer the ability to toggle between English and Spanish, allowing our users to access content in their language of choice.

With the option to toggle between different languages, our platform is committed to providing a comprehensive and inclusive user experience.

Giving admins the ability to create their own image libraries is a great way to streamline content and provide an easy to access folder of images for all users.

Additionally, admins can easily control the images used by other users, ensuring that they fit the brand guidelines.

If you're an admin, go into the backend and find the "Image Library" tab to create your own!
