Studio Design
37 articles
Studio Design
Shape scenes, choose widgets, and design a clear learner experience.
Studio Overview
Understand the editor layout so you can move from idea to build quickly and confidently.
→
Saving and Auto-Save
Your edits save automatically as you work. Understand what auto-save does, what it does not, how saving differs from publishing, how unsaved edits are kept when saving fails, and what happens when the same lesson is open in two tabs.
→
Publishing Updates to Your Listed Lessons
When a lesson is listed on the marketplace, the Studio shows you whether your latest edits are live for buyers — and lets you publish a new version without leaving the editor.
→
History and Restore
Look back through every change you have made to a lesson, preview any point in the past, and put your draft back to it — without changing anything students or buyers already have.
→
Moving Around the Canvas
Zoom in on fiddly details, pan across a busy scene, and snap back to the whole slide in one click.
→
Scene Settings
Learn how to structure scenes, share backdrops with layouts, and control the flow and grading of a lesson.
→
Scene Transitions
Add motion between scenes so the lesson feels like turning pages, not flipping a switch.
→
Keyboard Shortcuts
Every key and gesture the studio listens for, and how to bring the list up inside the editor.
→
Creative Backgrounds
Add generated gradients, patterns, textures, and landscapes to scenes and layouts, and recolor them to match your lesson.
→
Scene Management
Create, rename, reorder, and reorganize scenes so a lesson has a clear learner flow.
→
Lesson Previews
Every lesson automatically shows a preview image of its opening scene on your dashboard, the lesson page and, once published, its marketplace listing. Nothing to set up.
→
The Lesson Graph
See your whole lesson as a flowchart — every scene and every path a student can take — and author the branching right on the map.
→
Aligning and Distributing Widgets
Line widgets up, space them evenly, tidy a messy scene in one click, and lock the pieces you don't want to move again.
→
Text Presets
Add a Heading, Subheading, or Body text box that arrives already sized for the job.
→
Widgets and Widget Settings
See what kinds of widgets Berdee supports and how to choose the right one for each learning task.
→
Widget Toolbar Actions
Use the widget toolbar to duplicate, reorder, align, and reuse layout elements across scenes.
→
Smart styling when you drop a widget
New widgets pick up the look of your scene automatically — font family, colors, and corner radius — so you spend less time restyling.
→
Themes and Palettes
Start every lesson with a coordinated look. Pick a template or a color palette, let new widgets and scenes style themselves, and switch themes later without losing your own edits.
→
Typography and Fonts
Pick fonts, weights, and styles that match your lesson's voice. Apply theme defaults across a lesson or override on individual widgets, and add eye-catching text effects to title widgets.
→

→

→
Configuring a Spin Wheel
Set up a Spin Wheel's segments, spin behavior, and scoring in a roomy Configure dialog, opened right from the canvas.
→
Configuring a Sorting List

→
Configuring a Matching Activity
Set up a matching activity's pairs and scoring in a roomy Configure dialog, opened right from the canvas.
→
Configuring a Shape
Pick from the full shape library — basics, polygons, stars, arrows, bubbles, hearts, banners, cogs — in a Configure dialog that opens the moment you add a shape.
→
Guided Behaviors
Add tap-to-navigate, sounds, celebrations, and feedback to any widget with ready-made ideas and plain-language sentences.
→
Preview and Test a Lesson
Check scene flow, grading, media, variables, and learner interactions before assigning a lesson.
→

Select multiple widgets and change the properties they share, without opening each one in turn.
→
