SheetsToLabels Interface Guide — Toolbar, Sidebar & Canvas Explained
A visual tour of the SheetsToLabels Label Designer. Learn what the workflow toolbar, sidebar tabs, canvas, and print preview each do before you start designing your first label.
Before diving into your first label, take 2 minutes to understand the layout. The public workspace is Label Designer, and the same visual workspace powers related label, price tag, barcode, and sheet-layout tools.
1. Workflow Toolbar
The bar running across the top keeps the main workflow in order.
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Edit Data | Open the Data Manager to import/manage your spreadsheet |
| Design Tag | Edit one label at a time on the canvas |
| Print Layout | Preview the full sheet as it will print |
| Export PDF | Generate the final print-ready PDF |
| Save | Save the current design state when available |
2. Sidebar Tabs
Use the sidebar to move between data, templates, design controls, print settings, and help.
| Panel tab | What's inside |
|---|---|
| Data Source | Current rows and fields; open the Data Manager from here |
| Templates | Ready-made layouts and saved designs |
| Design | Add text, image, shape, barcode, and QR code elements; edit selected element styles |
| Print Settings | Paper size, label size, grid, gaps, margins, and Avery presets |
| Guide | In-editor quick-start help |
3. Canvas (Center)
In Design Tag mode, the white area in the middle is one label or tag.
- Click any element to select it and reveal its settings in the sidebar.
- Drag elements to reposition them.
- Use corner handles to resize.
- Add fixed content, or connect an element to a spreadsheet column so each row prints different content.
4. Print Layout Preview
Use Print Layout to check the whole sheet before exporting.
- Confirm the selected paper size and label preset.
- Check rows, columns, gaps, and margins.
- Page through multi-page jobs before generating the PDF.
[!TIP] The same workspace powers related product-label, barcode, QR, and sheet-layout workflows, so the controls stay familiar across those pages.
