Using Templates in the Layout Editor
Branded Templates: Create and Manage Reusable Layout Designs
Branded Templates allow you to create <strong>ready-to-use, reusable layout designs</strong> that follow your company’s branding, colors, and style guidelines.

Advanced Settings and Scheduling Layouts in the Layout Editor
Advanced settings in Yodeck’s Layout Editor help you take your layouts beyond static designs. They allow you to <strong>automate when content plays</strong>, <strong>control what happens after it expires</strong>, and <strong>enhance viewer experience</strong> with features like <strong>background audio</strong>.
Locking Elements and Controlling Access in the Layout Editor
When multiple people work on your layouts, it’s important to keep your designs consistent and prevent accidental changes. The <strong>locking tools</strong> in Yodeck’s Layout Editor give you control over what can and cannot be edited, helping you protect brand assets, control content updates, and guide team workflows.
Working with Screen Sizes and Aspect Ratios in the Layout Editor
A well-designed layout should always look great on your screens without stretching, cropping, or leaving empty spaces. To achieve that, it’s essential to understand and configure the <strong>aspect ratio</strong> of your layout. Aspect ratio defines the <strong>shape</strong> of your layout and determines how content appears on your displays. Yodeck’s Layout Editor allows you to choose from predefined screen sizes or create <strong>custom ratios</strong> to perfectly match any display, from standard TVs to vertical kiosks or LED walls.

Once you’ve created a layout, the next step is customizing it to match your message, brand, and visual style. The redesigned <strong>Yodeck Layout Editor</strong> gives you powerful tools to format text, style media, customize shapes, and manage multiple elements, all while staying simple and intuitive.
