Organizing in Connect Fonts

Hey, Creative Thanks for tuning in today. Today, we're going to talk about organization in connect fonts. Organization in connect fonts allows you to easily keep track of your fonts by simply creating libraries and sets. So let's get started. Creating a library of fonts and Connect is a snap located in the left hand panel that to the team libraries or personal libraries is a plus symbol. By simply clicking on the plus symbol, A dialog box will appear and ask for a library name. Add your library name and then click create. Connect fonts will quickly create a new library, and in just a moment, you will see it appear in the left hand column under the library section that you selected. And to add fonts to your library, all you have to do is simply drag a drop, a folder of fonts from your computer, or you can drag fonts from any of your other connect libraries or sets into your newly created library. And that's not all. Here's a bonus. Creating libraries in connect fonts automatically synchronizes them to Expensys' cloud service. So synchronizing between your other computers is absolutely seamless. So creating library pretty straightforward, I think we need to keep things a bit more organized. So let's create some sets. I like to think of libraries and sets as a file cabinet system. Each set is like placing a folder within that file again. So creating sets within your libraries of fonts helps you find your organization even more. I typically see our customers organized by all sorts of different things. Sometimes it's project name, Sometimes it's by client name, sometimes it's the plain old a through z, and that's great. We love it. And as you can see, I have a library here famous shoe company, maybe an organization that I'm working with. To create a set within that library, simply click the three dots to the right of the library name. You can also create a set by right clicking on your mouse or trackpad. When the menu appears, scroll down and select new set. In just a moment, an untitled set will appear under your library. Go ahead and give it a name and hit return or enter, or click anywhere outside the box after you've done typing the name. And for those out there thinking, hey, I might need more than one, go ahead and create as many libraries and sets as you want. Okay. So I'm sure you're all saying, yeah, I know how to stay organized, but how is this helping me stay creative? Since Connect fonts is a web based application, it can easily be resized. Simply grab the edge of your browser and shrink it down so it almost looks like a small portable font. Panel. By reshaping the window, it allows you to create a font management tool that can travel with you to any program that utilizes fonts. In this small state, you can actually hide your organization by using the arrow in the upper left hand corner. This allows you to show or hide your font organization, giving you better previews of the fonts that you have selected. Let's take a look at how this looks next to an application like PowerPoint. As you can see, Connect fonts is now a floating panel for any application that utilizes fonts. And if I want to activate a font, it's just a simple click away. Using the drop down menu to the right of the font, select whether or not you want this font temporarily or permanently active. And if the font's already active, you can deactivate it through the same menu. This allows you to keep fonts deactivated until they're absolutely needed. And just think, it really frees up those drop down menus and all of your creative products, keeping it free from distractions and unnecessarily activated fonts. And this is just one more of the exciting ways Expenses is innovating our products and keeping your font organization available for use in any application.
