When you customize printed materials that are part of a CMM campaign, you may have a choice of print options, as well as the ability to add or edit text and images. What you can change depends on the product you are ordering. Printed materials may have more than one page (for example, front and back) so be sure to review and customize both pages.
Note: If you customize the printed material and then change your mind, click Reset Document (at the bottom of the Personalization pane) to restore the document to what it was originally.
Note: The options that are available to you depend on the CMM campaign you selected.

Buttons may be available for editing the text, deleting the text, bringing the text to the foreground or background, duplicating the text, or rotating the text. What you can do depends on the campaign you are customizing.
