How to Create a New Card in Amorfs Studio

Creating a card in Amorfs Studio is simple.
Even if the format looks unfamiliar at first, don’t worry! We’re here to make sure that you can get started like a pro (without needing to be a developer).

Step 1: Go to the room where you want the card

Open Amorfs Studio and enter the room where you want to add a new card.
Each card lives inside a room, so make sure you’re in the right one before starting.

Step 2: Click Create Card

Click the Create Card button in the top-right corner.
A blank card editor will open.
This is where you’ll enter your data

Step 3: Write your data using the Amorfs format

In the editor, type your information using the Amorfs format.
Basic rules:
- Use - to mean “has a”
- Use [ ] to describe details
- Each part ends with ]

Example:

Contact card [ 
- name [Jane Cooper]
- role [Sales manager]
- email [jane@work.com]
]

Step 4: Edit directly on the card preview

While editing a card, you’ll see a live preview on the right side of the screen. This preview shows how your card will look in Amorfs Studio.

You can edit your card directly from this preview.

Here’s how it works:
- Double-click any text on the card preview (for example, the model or the year)
- Edit or delete the text
- The data in the editor will update automatically

For quick fixes, this lets you adjust content visually without touching the format.
If you make a mistake, use Ctrl + Z (or Cmd + Z) to undo at any time.

Step 5 (Optional): Add an image

Images are optional, but they help make cards clearer and more visual.

To add an image:
1. Open the Image Library in the top-right corner of the card editor
2. Click Upload and select an image from your device (for example, a profile photo or a logo)
3. Your image will appear in the Image Library as a thumbnail
4. Click the Copy icon on the image thumbnail 
5. In the card editor, place your cursor inside the image [ ] line
6. Paste the copied image reference into the brackets
7. Save your card

The image will now be part of your card data and visible in Studio.

Step 6: Save your card

Click Save, and your card will appear in the room immediately.
If there’s an error, the card will still be saved and visible, but it won’t render correctly until the error is fixed.

That’s it!
