The new Studio

The new Studio has a menu down the left side on a computer and a bar along the bottom on a phone. It can be light or dark. Everything you could do before is still there. Some things are in new places.

The menu

On a computer the menu is down the left side. It starts with Home, Photographs and Orders, then two groups:

• Sell has Products and Website.
• Business has Money and Settings.

Help is at the bottom of the menu. The place you are in is marked, and its tabs are along the top of the page.

Orders shows a number when orders need you. It counts the same orders as the To do filter on the Orders page. It updates when you open another page, so it can be a little behind.

On a phone the bottom bar has Home, Photographs, Orders and More. More opens the whole menu. On a tablet, a Menu button in the top bar does the same.

Where things moved

• Checkout links, Profiles and Limited editions are tabs of Products. Checkout links used to be a tab of Orders.
• Payments is a tab of Money. It used to be a tab of Settings. Money also has an Overview tab with the invoices you need to pay STIL LAB, what you owe STIL LAB, and the orders placed in the last 30 days.
• The logo and portrait tab of Photographs is now called Logo and portrait.
• If Search & sharing or Stats has been switched on for your account, it is a tab of Website.

Home

Home says what needs you today. Orders to act on lists the first eight orders that need you, with See all and the number if there are more. Invoices to pay and orders Held by STIL LAB are listed beside it. At a glance shows the orders placed in the last 30 days, what is being made, and what you owe STIL LAB. Quick actions are Add photographs, New product and Edit website (or Start your website, if you have none yet).

The orders figure counts every order placed in the last 30 days, including any not yet paid or later refunded. If you sell in more than one currency there is one figure for each. They are never added together.

Search

Press Search at the top of any page, or press Ctrl and K (Cmd and K on a Mac). Screens show as you type. Your photographs show once you have typed two letters. Search finds screens by name, and your own photographs by title, archived ones too. It does not find the logo or portrait you added under Photographs.

Use the up and down arrow keys, then Enter to go. Escape closes it. If your browser has scripts turned off, Search, Menu and More open a plain Search page that lists every screen.

While you are in Studio, Ctrl K is Studio's search and not your browser's own web search. Your browser's address bar still searches the web.

New

The New button at the top has Add photographs, New product and New checkout link. You do not see it if you can only view the account.

Light and dark

Open the account menu at the top right (it shows your business name) and choose Light, Dark or Match my device. The choice is yours alone and follows you to your phone. Other people on your account keep their own.

The Studio logo sits on a small white plate in dark, because the mark is black.

Going back to the old Studio

In the account menu, choose Use the old Studio. Every screen is the old one again, with a line at the top that says You are using the old Studio and a Use the new Studio button. Your choice is saved for you only. Nothing about your photographs, products or orders changes either way.

Good to know

• A paid order has a Send to STIL LAB button on Orders and on Home. You still confirm on the order page before anything is sent.
• After you add one photograph, Put on sale takes you straight to making its product.
• Pictures and product colours keep their own colours in dark.
