Define the available data
Open the template data editor and add the object fields, arrays, strings, numbers, and booleans the document needs.
Use representative example values. The designer uses them for previews; your application sends the real values during generation.
Create component bindings
Select a component and choose a compatible field from the data binding controls.
For a table or repeated group, bind the repeater to an array and its child components to fields on the current array item.
Test edge cases
Preview empty optional values, long names and addresses, large arrays, alternate images, and conditional states.
Validate the same fixtures through the API before promoting a template.
