Question

Feature request: lock layer and bulk create with csv file

Hello,

It would be very helpful if you could lock a layer. If layers overlap and you want to select one and change size for example, it can be diffucult because the wrong layer gets selected.

 

Bulk creation of instagram posts (or other) would really help to get more done and more efficient.

In Canva Pro you can uplaod a csv-file and use it to maken multiple designs at ones (1 design and on every page another text from the csv-file).

 

I quit my Canva subscribtion because I have Creative Cloud full package. So I use Adobe Express instead.

Some features from Canva (like mentioned above) can really bring Adobe Express to the next level.

For anyone reading this:

 

Lock layer is now available in Adobe Express. Click on the layer you want to lock and look for the padlock in the left-hand side panel. 

 

 

There are currently 2 topics in the Uservoice regarding CSV and bulk creation of posts. They are under review. If you consider these critical to the working of Adobe Express, vote for the feature to let the Team know.

Another vote for "bulk create" (I also voted via the link above) - Adobe Express is worthless to me without "bulk create", as the lack of it means I need to stick with Canva.

Agree with this. Really miss lock layer and bulk creation (csv files).

Just look at the features of Canva. I pay for the whole creative cloud services and Adobe express could be even better than Canva if you add a lot of (better) features then Canva.

Same her. The canva feature is a MUST HAVE. Also have the full package, but these features make me switch to Canva. 
Especially since Chat GPT makes creation so much easier there has to be either an integration or a possibility to bulk/batch create.
