That would be great. I also have this problem. Maybe add an option to each print area to desice whether we want it exported or not.

We would like to suggest an alternative workflow for customer image uploads in Chamevo. Currently, customer-uploaded images are handled through Upload Zones. While this works well for many use cases, uploaded graphics are treated as separate Print Areas. For businesses working with personalized print products, having a clean and predictable export structure is very important. When customer-uploaded images generate additional Print Areas, exports include extra files/views that are not always needed for final production. This makes export handling more complicated and less efficient. In our case, this creates an unnecessary additional export layer. Example: Print Area 1 = full final cover design (including text + customer photo) Print Area 2 = customer photo only The issue is that Print Area 2 generates an additional export view/file that is not actually needed for production. We only need the final combined design, but Chamevo also exports the separate uploaded image as its own Print Area, which adds unnecessary complexity to export handling. Previously, in Fancy Product Designer, customer-uploaded images worked differently, and in our case this approach was much more practical. Images could be added as editable design elements/layers, similar to text elements, instead of being handled as separate Upload Zones. This approach had several important benefits: uploaded images remained part of the final design, no additional export views were created, exports stayed cleaner and easier to process, production workflows were easier to manage. For our use case, this workflow was significantly more practical because only the final production files were exported, without additional unnecessary layers. Feature request: Please consider adding an alternative upload method where customer-uploaded images can be inserted directly as editable design elements/layers instead of being handled exclusively through Upload Zones. This would provide more flexibility and could be valuable not only for our workflow, but also for many businesses that rely on clean and efficient export structures.
Add context that helps the team understand the workflow impact.
That would be great. I also have this problem. Maybe add an option to each print area to desice whether we want it exported or not.
In these days, we migrated from FPD to Chamevo, and I am currently dealing with this issue with support. Yes, it is inappropriate that the upload zones have changed to print areas. It would be great if the upload zones could be restored or if we could disable the export of print areas for specific print areas. For creating new products directly in Chamevo, it would be amazing if there was an option to add multiple masks to a single print area.
Please, When do you plan to release this functionality?
