# Text Layer Settings

1. **Depend on another layer**

Enable text layers to be dependent on other text layer, ensuring identical attributes. 
e.g., layer B depends on Layer A, entering text characters on Layer A will result in the same characters appearing on Layer B.

2. **Auto resize to fit container**

The text size will automatically adjust to fit the text box size, meaning that the text size changes when the text box size changes.

3. **Allow personalized**

Tick this box if you want to offer customization for that text layer. Untick it if you want the text to remain static and not customizable.

4. **Enable max size**

Set the maximum font size. When reached, the text automatically shrinks to fit the text box.

5. **Enable auto line break**

Activate multi-line text. Upon selection, specify the minimum font size. When the text reaches this minimum size, it wraps to the next line.

|| The minimum font size must be smaller than the maximum font size.

6. **Min length - Max length**

Limit the number of characters customers can input, preventing text from becoming too small when entering many characters.

7. **Tags**

To let Persify automatically fill in personalized details on your order:

* Click **Add Tag** → Assign tags for: **Name**, **Date**, or **Phone number**.

This helps Persify detect and autofill information such as the customer’s **Name**, **Date**, or **Phone Number**.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/7/9/0/c7909319124ac800/image_lzahel.png)

Persify's AI will detect the customer's note and automatically fill in the correct information based on the tags you add to your artwork.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/7/9/0/c7909319124ac800/image_qf4htk.png)

* Click **Add Custom Text** → Add you desired text

Add any extra words you want to appear before or after the tag. Persify will include this text in the final result.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/7/9/0/c7909319124ac800/image_s1n6k.png)

e.g., If you want the design to display the customer’s name followed by **"with love"**, follow these steps:
* Add the **Name** tag
* Then add the custom text **"with love"**

Persify's AI will detect the name in the customer’s note and automatically add **"with love"** after it.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/7/9/0/c7909319124ac800/image_88ez.png)
7. **Allow personalized text color**

* To remove a color, click the **X** icon. To change the order of colors, use the **move** icon to drag and reorder them.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/7/9/0/c7909319124ac800/image_mxfaha.png)

This is how the color selection will appear in the personalized order section.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/7/9/0/c7909319124ac800/image_15ro9x8.png)

|| When using the "Depend on another layer" feature, please make sure to check the "Sync font & color from root layer" box. This ensures that the dependent layer inherits the correct color settings, so the live preview and print file display accurately.

![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/c/7/9/0/c7909319124ac800/image_danmph.png)
