The problem

Describing which part you mean

"The second button under the photo, no, the other one." Explaining where something is takes longer than the change itself, and the wrong part gets changed.

With Fabricate

Click the part you mean

Select it in the preview and Fabricate knows exactly which element you mean. Type what should change, and it goes into the chat with the element named.

The tools

Select

Click any part of the page, say what should change, and press "Add to chat".

Edit text in place

With Select on, double-click a heading or a sentence and type the new words where they are.

Draw

Draw on the page to show what you mean, like a box around a section to move, then say what should change.

Comment

Pin numbered comments on several parts of the page, then add them all to the chat at once.

How to use them

  1. 1

    Open your app and its preview

    On a computer, the tools sit in a bar at the bottom of the preview: Select, Draw and Comment.

  2. 2

    Pick a tool and point at the page

    Select an element, double-click text, draw, or pin comments, and type what should change.

  3. 3

    Read the message, then press Send

    Fabricate puts the request in the chat box, naming the part you picked. Change it if you like, then send it. A change uses credits like any other message.

What people change this way

  • Fixing a typo or a price in a heading
  • Changing the words on a button
  • Moving a section higher up the page
  • Swapping a photo for a different one
  • Several small fixes in one message, with comments

In the preview of your app, on a computer. The bar with Select, Draw and Comment is at the bottom of the preview once it has loaded. They are not shown on a phone.
Do visual edits cost credits?
Picking, drawing and commenting are free. Sending the message is a change like any other, so it uses credits.
Does my live app change straight away?
No. Changes show in the preview first. Your published app changes the next time you publish.
