Overall, the updated experience is designed to streamline the signature creation process while giving users more flexibility and control over the final result.
Watch this quick walkthrough to see how the Studio works.
How do I access the Signature Studio?
You can open the Studio from your main dashboard to create or modify designs.
Signatures tab: Select the Signatures tab located on the left panel of the WiseStamp account.
New signature: Click New signature in the top-right corner to start a new design in the Studio.
Edit: Click Edit next to an existing signature to update a current design using the Studio.
How do I navigate the Studio left panel?
The left panel of the Studio contains the primary navigation icons for building a signature. Each icon in the Studio corresponds to a specific editing category. You add an item by clicking the section icon and then choosing or filling in what you want (a variable, text, an app, or a file), and it appears in your signature.
Details: Click this icon to manage personal contact information, job titles, and company names within the Studio.
Images: Click this icon to add your Company Logo and Profile Photo. These appear in your signature when you upload a file or choose a variable, and are not dragged onto the canvas to add them. To add more images, use the Image option in the Apps section.
Social: Click this icon to add social media icons and link them to various professional profiles.
Apps: Click this icon to add building blocks and richer signature features. The Apps section includes basic building blocks such as Text, Image, Divider, Button, Video, Icon, and HTML, along with ready-made apps such as Styled signoff, Call to action, Legal disclaimer, Image Gallery, Banner, Green footer, Quote, and Promotion. You can add any of these by clicking it or by dragging and dropping it onto the canvas.
Layouts: Click this icon to see recommended templates based on what you are currently working on. The Layouts icon sits at the bottom of the left panel.
Global styling controls (colors, fonts, signature size, and more) are no longer a section in the left panel. They now live in the Global Design Bar across the top of the Studio canvas.
How do I rearrange or reorder elements?
You can rearrange any element in your signature, a logo, profile photo, text, contact detail, social icons, button, or any other element, by dragging and dropping it directly on the Studio Canvas (the signature preview in the center of the screen). This is the main way to change your layout, and it works the same way for every element no matter which section you added it from.
Click and hold the element on the Studio Canvas.
Drag it to the position you want (up, down, left, or right).
Release to drop it in place.
Tip: To fine-tune the space around an element, click on the element and open the Layout tab in the left panel to adjust its padding and spacing. The Layout tab changes spacing only, repositioning is done by dragging on the canvas.
How do I use the Layouts section?
The Layouts section recommends templates based on the signature you are currently building. It looks at your current layout, the apps you have added, and the elements in your design, then suggests templates that fit.
Recommendations are based on your current work: The templates shown take into account your existing layout, apps, and elements, so the suggestions stay relevant to what you are building.
Your design is preserved: The Layouts section keeps your current design. It does not change your colors, fonts, logo, or any other styling. It only offers alternative layouts you can choose from.
How to use it: Click the Layouts icon in the left panel, then review the recommended templates and select one to apply it to your signature.
How do I use the Studio interface?
The Studio interface is divided into functional areas to help users navigate the design process.
Studio canvas: The center of the screen displays a live preview of your email signature. You can drag and drop elements and rearrange them directly on the Studio canvas.
Left panel: The left panel allows you to switch between different editing categories (such as Details, Images, Social icons, etc.) to build and customize your email signature.
Global Design Bar: The bar across the top of the Studio canvas holds the global styling controls for your whole signature, including colors, font, signature size, detail labels, social icon style, signature direction, and campaign placement.
Element editing: Clicking a specific element on the Studio canvas opens detailed editing tabs in the left panel.
Drag-and-drop movement: Users can click and hold an element on the Studio canvas to move it up, down, left, or right.
Save changes: The Save button in the top right corner secures updates and automatically applies them to all assigned employees.
Preview employees: The employee dropdown above the Studio canvas lets you see how the signature looks for a specific employee. By default, the preview shows the employee whose signature you are viewing. If you are assigned to this signature, the preview defaults to you. If you are not assigned to it, the preview shows the assigned employee who comes first alphabetically. When a signature is assigned to a group, the preview shows the group member who comes first alphabetically. When only one employee is assigned, that employee is shown in the preview. The employee dropdown shows up to 10 employees at a time. To preview an employee who is not in the list, type their name in the search bar at the top of the dropdown, and the employee will appear.
Preview options: Preview above the Studio canvas allows users to see how the signature looks in dark mode and on a mobile device.
Dark mode: The moon icon above the Studio canvas allows users to see how their signature looks in dark mode view.
Mobile view: The mobile icon above the Studio canvas allows users to see how their signature looks on a mobile device.
AI Designer: Use the chat box below the Studio canvas to generate or optimize your signature with AI. You can also use the quick-action buttons below the canvas (such as Add banner, Add personal signoff, Add call to action, and Animate logo) to make common changes in one click.
How do I find and choose a template?
When starting a new signature, you can use our template gallery to find a pre-designed layout that fits your brand.
Browse by Style: Choose between Classic, Corporate, or Professional designs.
Filter by Industry: Narrow your search by selecting categories such as Marketing / Advertising, Tech, Finance, Real Estate, Healthcare, Education, Design & Creative, or Sales.
Start from scratch: If you prefer to build a custom layout, click Start from scratch at the bottom of the sidebar to bypass the gallery.
How do I preview templates with my own branding (brand bar)?
At the top of the template gallery, a brand bar lets you preview every template using your own brand assets. The brand bar pulls from the brand kit in your Company profile.
Company Logo: Shows the templates using your company logo. Click the dropdown to switch to a different logo.
Brand Color: Shows the templates using your brand color. Click the dropdown to switch to a different color.
Signature Font: Shows the templates using your preferred font. Click the dropdown to switch to a different font.
Because the gallery previews each template with your selected logo, color, and font, you can see how a design will look with your branding before you choose it.
Note: Our available templates are the ones found directly within the Studio. Templates shown on our public website (wisestamp.com/templates) may differ slightly from the in-app library.
