The Scribe editor is where you design your email signatures. It follows a three-panel layout similar to design tools like Figma or Framer: a tree panel on the left, a canvas in the center, and a styling panel on the right.

Layout

Tree panel (left): Shows the hierarchical structure of your signature as a collapsible tree. Every block in your signature appears here: columns, text blocks, images, banners. You can select, reorder, duplicate, hide, and delete blocks from this panel.

Canvas (center): A live preview of your signature that updates in real time as you make changes. Click on any block directly in the canvas to select it, or use the tree panel. The canvas shows actual teammate data from Smart Fields so you can see how the signature will really look.

Styling panel (right): Appears when you select a block. Shows all the styling options for that block, including layout properties, text formatting, colors, spacing, and Smart Field connections. The options change depending on which type of block is selected.

  • Templates: Browse the template library to start from a pre-built design
  • Quality check: Runs a compatibility check on your signature design.

All checks should show green before publishing.

  • Publish: Push your design changes live. After publishing, updates are automatically sent to all installed teammates.
