Finalize and View your design
After creating your design, you can review it and check it one more time. You then see what it will look like on the Coolenator. You can then confirm the design. This cannot be modified in the design tool after that. If something does need to be changed because something didn't go right, you can just let us know as soon as possible via support@coolenator.com.
