Depending upon the template rules, users are empowered to edit text (font, color, size etc), images (crop, re-size, apply effects) or page layouts directly on to the page using the OPS design interface. If given the needed permissions, users can also draw text or image boxes. GroupCanvas also has advanced features for multi-page documents such as brochures and newsletters with support for flowing text between pages (pagination). Through the Page Manager section users can also re-arrange page order and add and delete pages.

All areas of a template can be locked down or opened up to customization depending upon template rules.

The LiveSession module enables advanced collaboration capabilities allowing multiple users in remote locations to design artwork together in a real-time virtual team environment. Once an invited user joins a design session, all participants view the same screen and can all make design changes to either a printed piece or an HTML page.

With built-in Instant Messaging and VOIP conference calls, it has never been easier for groups to successfully collaborate.
