Text Presets

2 min read

Add a Heading, Subheading, or Body text box that arrives already sized for the job.

Most scenes need the same three pieces of text: a title, a section line under it, and the words students actually read. Setting the size by hand every time is three trips to the properties panel before you have written anything.

So Lesson Widgets offers Heading, Subheading, and Body beside plain Text. Each one drops a text box that is already the right size for that job.

What each one gives you

  • Heading — big and bold. The scene title students read first.
  • Subheading — medium weight, a step down. A section title, or a short prompt under the heading.
  • Body — regular size with comfortable line spacing. Instructions, a question, or a passage to read.

Each preset also sets its line spacing — tight for a Heading (1.10×), a little looser for a Subheading (1.20×), comfortable for Body (1.50×) — so big titles don't float apart and paragraphs stay easy to read.

Each arrives holding placeholder words (Heading, Subheading, Body text) so you can see the size straight away. Type over them.

They are ordinary text widgets

This is the important part: a preset is a starting size, not a locked style. The moment a Heading lands on the scene it is a plain text widget — the same widget you get from the Text tile, just with its size, weight, and line spacing already set. Everything works exactly as it always did:

  • Change the font, size, weight, line spacing, color, and alignment in the properties panel — see Typography and Fonts
  • Add text effects to a Heading you want to feel like an opening title
  • Resize it by dragging, wire behaviors to it, hide it behind a condition

Nothing snaps back, and nothing about the preset follows the widget around afterwards.

The fonts still come from your theme

A preset sets size, weight, and line spacing — never the typeface. Whatever font your theme or palette uses is the font a Heading arrives in, so a lesson built on the dyslexia-friendly Lexend palette gets Lexend headings, and changing the theme later changes them all with it.

Where to find them

  • Lesson Widgets (the Widgets tab of the left panel), under Most Common — alphabetically alongside Text, because a title and a paragraph are the most common way a scene starts
  • The search box at the top of that panel — type heading or body and they come up

Click a tile to drop it on the scene, or drag it where you want it.

A quick way to start a scene

  1. Drop a Heading and type the question or topic.
  2. Drop a Body underneath and write the instruction.
  3. Add the widget students actually use — a multiple choice, a text input, a matching.

That gets you a readable scene in three moves, with a size hierarchy that is consistent from scene to scene without you tracking numbers.
