Improved branded templates on mobile
I would like branded templates back on mobile. Templates for different brands could be browsed the same way as ”Featured”, ”Premium” etc. templates, with the name of the brand appearing as its own tab along with the other template categories.
In addition, it would be great if designers could choose to lock certain template elements, such as the location and alignment of a text box, the font size, font color, logo location or the location of an image (regardless of whether it is freely movable or not).
I serve as the in-house designer in a marketing team and frequently collaborate with non-designers on social media content. Locking template elements would help ensure consistency across branded social media posts, so my dear colleagues can’t purposely or accidentally edit design choices. In most cases, my colleagues only need a base on which to change pictures and edit text, but they end up accidentally moving elements, changing type size or forgetting to set type to all caps. Spark could be an immensely useful tool for any brand present in social media if you could get these features working. Companies are happy to pay for tools that save time on creating content for social media. Removing branded templates on mobile has had the opposite effect for us - duplicating posts is time consuming, as is correcting questionable design choices made by non-designers.

I agree with that.
We create the design templates for our customers.
The customer works with the mobile version.
To make it easier for him to work, I also need the templates on the mobile version. And the possibility to lock the elements.
