This feature is really important to have given these safe zones change all the time. I cannot see this feature in my dropdown

      Hi ​@RachelMata,

       

      Thanks for reaching out! Just a quick note — you’ll be able to view the safe zones for social media posts only after creating a post and then converting it into a template.

       

      For more details, please refer to this article- https://helpx.adobe.com/express/web/publish-and-share/share-to-social-media/optimize-your-design-for-social-media-using-social-safezones.html#format

       

      Let us know if that helps.

       

      Regards,

      Tarun

        Hi Tarun,

        Just to confirm, you have to create the post by using the pre-set social sizes AE sets out to start the design, you cannot just create your own artwork based on the correct size yourself i.e 1080x1350px size artwork has already been set up - this part doesn’t seem to be clear in the guide, its just says “create a social media design”.

        Baring in mind that there’s is quite a few designers using AE that create artwork in other Adobe Software to start with and then export to AE to set up a template. Not everyone is building designs directly in AE.
