FAQs

Can I edit the labels of an existing layout instead of creating a new one?

Yes. Click ⋯ next to the layout, then Edit, and edit the labels the same way.

Does the template language translate the labels automatically?

No. The template language only sets the currency name language. The labels appear as you wrote them in Item Columns and Labels.
