When creating designs in Abyssale, you can customize how layers appear and behave in the Quick generation method (form). This gives you control over what end users (your teammates or customers) can modify when generating variation of a design.
Accessing Layer Configuration Settings
To configure how your layers behave in forms:
Open your design
Click on "Settings" in the left menu
Navigate to the "Layers Configuration" section
Make your desired changes
Click "Save changes" to apply your configurations
Layer Configuration Features
Configure how your design layers behave in generation forms with these powerful options. Each setting gives you precise control over what your end users can modify, helping you balance flexibility with brand consistency.
Layer Accessibility
Control whether layers appear in the generation form:
Disable layers to prevent them from appearing in the form
Disabled layers will still be generated but cannot be modified by end users
Customizing Layer Labels
You can rename how layers appear in the generation form to provide clearer instructions:
Instead of technical layer names like "text_title", use descriptive names like "Write your title on this input"
This helps provide context and makes the form more user-friendly for teammates or customers
Text Decoration Controls
For text and button layers, you can disable decoration options:
When enabled, users can change the text content but not styling elements like font, size, or color
This helps maintain design consistency while allowing content changes
Font Selection
In a Quick generation form, users can choose the font of a text layer instead of keeping the font used in your design. This is useful when you generate variations for different brands, markets or tones and each needs its own typeface.
Font selection is off by default. As the designer, you turn it on for each text layer you want to open up:
Open your design and click Settings in the left menu.
Go to Layers configuration and select the text layer.
In the Quick generation Settings of that layer, turn on Enable Font Selection.
Click Save changes.
In the Quick generation form, the text field then shows a font dropdown. It starts on the font used in your design and includes a search field, so users can find a font by name.
Font selection is available in Quick generation forms only. It is not available in spreadsheet generation.
The list offers Google Fonts.
Layer Visibility Options
You can configure whether layers can be hidden:
Enable "Hide Layer" to allow users to toggle layer visibility during generation
This gives users flexibility to include or exclude certain elements as needed
Predefined Content Options
Important: When using predefined content, the first option in your list will automatically be selected in the form, overriding the default value in your design
Limit available options for specific layer types:
Images or Logo
Add up to 20 predefined images for logo & image layers
Users will only be able to select from these options
Text & Button
Define up to 10 text variations for text & button layers
Drag and drop text options to organize the list in your preferred order
Users can only choose from your preset text options
Colors
Specify up to 10 color options for buttons and shapes
Choose between two methods for setting color options:
Apply brand presets: Select colors from your saved brand presets to automatically populate color choices
Custom colors: Define specific custom colors for this layer
Users will be limited to selecting from your defined color palette
AI image generation
Disable the capability to generate images by AI for that layer
If the feature is enabled, you have two options to define how it can be used:
Let users choose: the user can choose the AI generation model & quality per generation.
Locked: the user can only change the prompt and reference images, he can't change model and quality set in the design.
These settings help maintain brand consistency while still allowing controlled customization
By thoughtfully configuring your layer settings, you can create user-friendly generation forms that balance flexibility with design integrity.
