The replace feature controls how elements swap on the canvas. When a customer adds a new element that shares a replace name with an existing one, the old element is automatically removed. This keeps designs clean and prevents customers from stacking too many elements.

Before you start

• You have created a product with at least one view.
• You have access to the Product Builder (Chamevo > Products in your WordPress admin).

How replace works

Every element has a Replace field in its properties. Enter a text label you define. When a customer adds a new element with the same replace label, it replaces the existing one. Only one element per replace label can exist at a time.

Common use cases:

• Logo placeholder — place a logo image with a replace name like "logo". When the customer uploads their own logo, it replaces yours.
• Single design from a category — set the same replace name on a graphics category. Customers can browse and pick one design. Adding a second one swaps out the first.
• Multi-view consistency — enable Replace In All Views so that replacing an element on the front also replaces the matching element on the back.

Steps

Set up a replaceable element

1. Open your product in the Product Builder (Chamevo > Products).
2. Select the element you want to make replaceable (an image, graphic, or text element).
3. In the properties panel, find the Replace field under the Miscellaneous section.
4. Enter a unique replace name (for example, "logo" or "design").
5. Click Save View.

Any new element added with the same replace name now swaps out this one.

Set replace on a graphics category

To make an entire graphics category replaceable (so customers can only pick one graphic at a time):
