Editing on a phone or tablet

On a narrow screen, Popcorn moves the desktop side panels into sheets so the canvas has room. The bottom bar is your starting point: open Templates, Layers, Properties, Pages, or Comments when those tabs are available in your session. Tap an active tab again to return to the canvas.

Move around the design

The page control shows the current page and total. Use its previous and next buttons to switch pages, or open Pages for the full list. Pinch with two fingers to zoom and drag to pan. The tools are in the mobile toolbar; the Pen tool group opens more choices on a long press.

Tap an object to select it, then open Properties to change its settings. If a control is hidden by the on-screen keyboard, dismiss the keyboard before trying to move or resize on the canvas. The same document opens on desktop, so you can start on your phone and continue at a larger screen after saving.

Some tabs depend on your access. For example, a view-only share will not offer editing controls. If you are new to the editor, follow your first design; the basic object and save steps are the same.
