Design Library and Masters

Understanding Master vs Assets in EditorX

In this video, I demonstrate how to effectively use Editor X, focusing on creating and managing master elements and design assets. 

This tutorial builds on the previous lesson, guiding you through the process of enhancing your web design skills with practical steps and tips. By the end of this video, you will have a clear understanding of how to use Editor X's master elements and design assets to streamline your web design process. You'll learn how to create master sections that can be reused across different pages, saving time and ensuring consistency. Additionally, you'll discover the limitations and best practices for using design assets, including how to save, modify, and apply them across your projects. The key takeaway is the importance of building and maintaining a personal library of design elements to enhance your workflow and creativity.
