+    ## Get Started
+
+    Start fresh with a standalone Single Page Editor project. This creates a complete, ready-to-run application.
+
+    ## Step 1: Clone the Repository
+
+    <TerminalTabs>
+      <TerminalTab label="git">
+        git clone https://github.com/imgly/starterkit-single-page-editor-ts-web.git
+      </TerminalTab>
+
+      <TerminalTab label="degit">
+        npx degit imgly/starterkit-single-page-editor-ts-web starterkit-single-page-editor-ts-web
+      </TerminalTab>
+    </TerminalTabs>
+
+    The `src/` folder contains the editor code:
+
+    ```
+    src/
+    ├── imgly/

+    └── index.ts
+    ```
+
+    ## Step 2: Install Dependencies
+
+    Install the required packages:
+
+    <TerminalTabs syncKey="package-manager">
+      <TerminalTab label="npm">
+        cd starterkit-single-page-editor-ts-web
+        npm install
+      </TerminalTab>
+
+      <TerminalTab label="pnpm">
+        cd starterkit-single-page-editor-ts-web
+        pnpm install
+      </TerminalTab>
+
+      <TerminalTab label="yarn">
+        cd starterkit-single-page-editor-ts-web
+        yarn
+      </TerminalTab>
+    </TerminalTabs>
+
+    ## Step 3: Download Assets
+
+    CE.SDK requires engine assets (fonts, icons, UI elements) to function. These must be served as static files from your project's `public/` directory.
+
+    <TerminalTabs>
+      <TerminalTab label="Download">
+        curl -O https://cdn.img.ly/packages/imgly/cesdk-js/$UBQ\_VERSION$/imgly-assets.zip
+        unzip imgly-assets.zip -d public/
+        rm imgly-assets.zip
+      </TerminalTab>
+    </TerminalTabs>
+
+    > **Asset Configuration:** The starter kit is pre-configured to load assets from `/assets`. If you place assets in a different location, update the `baseURL` in `src/index.ts`.
+
+    ```typescript title="src/index.ts"
+    const config = {
+      // ...
+      baseURL: '/assets'
+      // ...
+    };
+    ```
+
+    ## Step 4: Run the Development Server
+
+    <TerminalTabs syncKey="package-manager">
+      <TerminalTab label="npm">
+        npm run dev
+      </TerminalTab>
+
+      <TerminalTab label="pnpm">
+        pnpm run dev
+      </TerminalTab>
+
+      <TerminalTab label="yarn">
+        yarn dev
+      </TerminalTab>
+    </TerminalTabs>
+
+    Open `http://localhost:5173` in your browser.
+
+  </TabItem>
+
+  <TabItem label="Existing Project">
+    ## Get Started
+
+    Integrate the Single Page Editor into an existing web application. This adds the editor configuration to your current project structure.
+
+    ## Step 1: Clone
+
+    <TerminalTabs>
+      <TerminalTab label="Navigate">
+        cd your-project
+      </TerminalTab>
+    </TerminalTabs>
+
+    Clone the starter kit and copy the editor configuration to your project:
+
+    <TerminalTabs>
+      <TerminalTab label="git">
+        git clone https://github.com/imgly/starterkit-single-page-editor-ts-web.git
+        cp -r starterkit-single-page-editor-ts-web/src/imgly ./src/imgly
+        rm -rf starterkit-single-page-editor-ts-web
+      </TerminalTab>
+
+      <TerminalTab label="degit">
+        npx degit imgly/starterkit-single-page-editor-ts-web/src/imgly ./src/imgly
+      </TerminalTab>
+    </TerminalTabs>
+
+    > **Adjust Path:** The default destination is `./src/imgly`. Adjust the path to match your project structure.
+
+    The `imgly/` folder contains the editor configuration:
+
+    ```
+    imgly/
+    ├── config/
+    │   ├── actions.ts                # Export/import actions

+    └── index.ts                  # Editor initialization function
+    ```
+
+    ## Step 2: Install Dependencies
+
+    Install the required packages for the editor:
+
+    ### Core Editor
+
+    Install the Creative Editor SDK:
+
+    <TerminalTabs syncKey="package-manager">
+      <TerminalTab label="npm">
+        npm install @cesdk/cesdk-js@$UBQ\_VERSION$
+      </TerminalTab>
+
+      <TerminalTab label="pnpm">
+        pnpm add @cesdk/cesdk-js@$UBQ\_VERSION$
+      </TerminalTab>
+
+      <TerminalTab label="yarn">
+        yarn add @cesdk/cesdk-js@$UBQ\_VERSION$
+      </TerminalTab>
+    </TerminalTabs>
+
+    ## Step 3: Download Assets
+
+    CE.SDK requires engine assets (fonts, icons, UI elements) to function. These must be served as static files from your project's `public/` directory.
+
+    <TerminalTabs>
+      <TerminalTab label="Download">
+        curl -O https://cdn.img.ly/packages/imgly/cesdk-js/$UBQ\_VERSION$/imgly-assets.zip
+        unzip imgly-assets.zip -d public/
+        rm imgly-assets.zip
+      </TerminalTab>
+    </TerminalTabs>
+
+    > **Asset Configuration:** The starter kit is pre-configured to load assets from `/assets`. If you place assets in a different location, update the `baseURL` in Step 5: Initialize the Editor.
+
+    ## Step 4: Add a Container Element
+
+    Add a container element to your HTML where the editor will be mounted:
+
+    ```html
+    <div id="cesdk_container" style="width: 100%; height: 100vh;"></div>
+    ```
+
+    ## Step 5: Initialize the Editor
+
+    Import and call the initialization function from your application's entry point:
+
+    ```typescript title="src/index.ts"
+    import CreativeEditorSDK from '@cesdk/cesdk-js';
+
+    import { initSinglePageEditor } from './imgly';
+
+    const config = {
+      userId: 'your-user-id',
+      baseURL: '/assets'
+      // license: 'YOUR_LICENSE_KEY',
+    };
+
+    CreativeEditorSDK.create('#cesdk_container', config)
+      .then(async (cesdk) => {
+        await initSinglePageEditor(cesdk);
+      })
+      .catch((error) => {
+        console.error('Failed to initialize CE.SDK:', error);
+      });
+    ```
+
+  </TabItem>
+</Tabs>
+
+## Set Up a Scene
+
+CE.SDK offers multiple ways to load content into the editor. Choose the method that matches your use case:
+
+```typescript title="src/index.ts"
+// Create a blank design canvas - starts with an empty design scene
+await cesdk.actions.run('scene.create');
+
+// Load from a template archive - restores a previously saved project
+await cesdk.loadFromArchiveURL('https://example.com/template.zip');
+
+// Load from an image URL - creates a new scene with the image
+await cesdk.createFromImage('https://example.com/image.jpg');
+
+// Load from a scene file - restores a scene from JSON
+await cesdk.loadFromURL('https://example.com/scene.json');
+```
+
+The `createDesignScene()` method is ideal for design workflows, as it creates a blank canvas ready for content.
+
+> **More Loading Options:** See [Open the Editor](./open-the-editor.md) for all available loading methods.
+
+## Customize Assets
+
+The Single Page Editor uses asset source plugins to provide built-in libraries for templates, stickers, shapes, and fonts. The starter kit includes a curated selection—customize what's included based on your needs.
+
+Asset sources are added via plugins in `src/index.ts`. Enable or disable individual sources:
+
+```typescript title="src/index.ts"
+import {
+  FiltersAssetSource,
+  StickerAssetSource,
+  TextAssetSource,
+  VectorShapeAssetSource,
+  EffectsAssetSource
+  // ...
+} from '@cesdk/cesdk-js/plugins';
+
+// Add only the sources you need
+await cesdk.addPlugin(new FiltersAssetSource());
+await cesdk.addPlugin(new StickerAssetSource());
+await cesdk.addPlugin(new TextAssetSource());
+await cesdk.addPlugin(new VectorShapeAssetSource());
+await cesdk.addPlugin(new EffectsAssetSource());
+// ...
+```
+
+> **Available Asset Sources:** See [Asset Source Plugins](./plugins/asset-sources.md) for the complete list of available sources.
+
+For production deployments, self-hosting assets is required—the IMG.LY CDN is intended for development only. See [Serve Assets](./serve-assets.md) for downloading assets, configuring `baseURL`, and excluding unused sources to optimize load times.
+
+## Configure Actions
+
+Actions are functions that handle user interactions like exporting designs, saving scenes, and importing files. CE.SDK provides built-in actions that you can run directly or override with custom implementations.
+
+**Key built-in actions:**
+
+- `exportDesign` – Export the current design to PNG, JPEG, PDF, or other formats
+- `saveScene` – Save the scene as a JSON string for later editing
+- `importScene` – Import a previously saved scene (supports `.scene` and `.cesdk` formats)
+- `exportScene` – Export the scene as a JSON file or `.cesdk` archive with all assets
+- `uploadFile` – Handle file uploads with progress tracking
+
+Use `cesdk.actions.run()` to execute any action:
+
+```typescript
+// Run a built-in action
+await cesdk.actions.run('exportDesign', { mimeType: 'image/png' });
+```
+
+#### Import from File Picker
+
+```typescript title="src/imgly/config/actions.ts"
+// Let users open images from their device
+cesdk.actions.register('importImage', async () => {
+  const blobURL = await cesdk.utils.loadFile({
+    accept: 'image/*',
+    returnType: 'objectURL'
+  });
+  await cesdk.createFromImage(blobURL);
+});
+```
+
+#### Export and Save
+
+```typescript title="src/imgly/config/actions.ts"
+// Register export action that downloads the edited design
+cesdk.actions.register('exportDesign', async (exportOptions) => {
+  const { blobs, options } = await cesdk.utils.export(exportOptions);
+  await cesdk.utils.downloadFile(blobs[0], options.mimeType);
+});
+```
+
+#### Upload to Your Backend
+
+```typescript title="src/imgly/config/actions.ts"
+// Override the built-in exportDesign action to send to your server
+cesdk.actions.register('exportDesign', async (exportOptions) => {
+  const { blobs } = await cesdk.utils.export(exportOptions);
+
+  const formData = new FormData();
+  formData.append('design', blobs[0], 'design.png');
+
+  const response = await fetch('/api/upload', {
+    method: 'POST',
+    body: formData
+  });
+
+  const { url } = await response.json();
+  console.log('Uploaded to:', url);
+});
+```
+
+> **Learn More:** See [Actions](./actions.md) for the full list of built-in actions, how to run them, and how to register custom actions.
+
+---
+
+## Customize (Optional)
+
+### Theming
+
+CE.SDK supports light and dark themes out of the box, plus automatic system preference detection. Switch between themes programmatically:
+
+```typescript title="src/imgly/config/settings.ts"
+// 'light' | 'dark' | 'system' | (() => 'light' | 'dark')
+cesdk.ui.setTheme('dark');
+```
+
+See [Theming](./user-interface/appearance/theming.md) for custom color schemes, CSS variables, and advanced styling options.
+
+### Localization
+
+Customize UI labels and add support for multiple languages. The i18n system supports translation keys for all UI elements:
+
+```typescript title="src/imgly/config/i18n.ts"
+// Override specific labels
+cesdk.i18n.setTranslations({
+  en: {
+    'actions.export.image': 'Download Design',
+    'common.cancel': 'Cancel',
+    'common.apply': 'Apply'
+  }
+});
+
+// Add a new language
+cesdk.i18n.setTranslations({
+  de: {
+    'actions.export.image': 'Design herunterladen'
+  }
+});
+
+// Set the active locale
+cesdk.i18n.setLocale('de');
+```
+
+See [Localization](./user-interface/localization.md) for supported languages, translation key reference, and right-to-left language support.
+
+### UI Layout
+
+![CE.SDK Editor UI Areas](https://img.ly/docs/cesdk/../_shared/assets/CESDK-UI.png)
+
+Customize the editor interface by modifying the dock, inspector bar, navigation bar, and canvas menu. CE.SDK provides Order APIs to control which components appear and in what sequence.
+
+```typescript title="src/imgly/config/ui/navigationBar.ts"
+// Get current navigation bar components
+const navOrder = cesdk.ui.getNavigationBarOrder();
+
+// Add a custom button to the navigation bar
+cesdk.ui.insertNavigationBarOrderComponent(
+  'ly.img.spacer',
+  { id: 'my-custom-action' },
+  'after'
+);
+
+// Rearrange dock items
+cesdk.ui.setDockOrder([
+  'ly.img.assetLibrary.dock',
+  'ly.img.separator',
+  'my-custom-dock-item'
+]);
+
+// Customize the inspector bar
+cesdk.ui.setInspectorBarOrder([
+  'ly.img.fill.inspectorBar',
+  'ly.img.separator',
+  'ly.img.filter.inspectorBar'
+]);
+```
+
+The Order API methods follow a consistent pattern across all UI areas:
+
+- `get*Order()` – Retrieve the current component order
+- `set*Order()` – Replace the entire order
+- `insert*OrderComponent()` – Add components relative to existing ones
+
+See [Dock](./user-interface/customization/dock.md), [Inspector Bar](./user-interface/customization/inspector-bar.md), [Navigation Bar](./user-interface/customization/navigation-bar.md), [Canvas Menu](./user-interface/customization/canvas-menu.md), and [Canvas](./user-interface/customization/canvas.md) for detailed layout customization options.
+
+### Custom Components
+
+Build custom UI components using the builder system and integrate them in the editor. Custom components receive reactive state updates and can interact with the engine API.
+
+```typescript title="src/imgly/config/ui/components.ts"
+// Register a custom component
+cesdk.ui.registerComponent('my-custom-button', ({ builder, engine }) => {
+  const selectedBlocks = engine.block.findAllSelected();
+
+  builder.Button('apply-effect', {
+    label: 'Apply Effect',
+    isDisabled: selectedBlocks.length === 0,
+    onClick: () => {
+      // Apply custom logic to selected blocks
+    }
+  });
+});
+
+// Add the component to the navigation bar
+cesdk.ui.insertNavigationBarOrderComponent(
+  'ly.img.spacer',
+  'my-custom-button',
+  'after'
+);
+```
+
+Custom components automatically re-render when the engine state they depend on changes—no manual subscription management required.
+
+See [Register New Component](./user-interface/ui-extensions/register-new-component.md) for the complete builder API and component patterns.
+
+### Settings & Features
+
+Fine-tune editor behavior through settings and features.
+
+**Settings** configure core engine behavior—rendering, input handling, and history management:
+
+```typescript title="src/imgly/config/settings.ts"
+cesdk.engine.editor.setSettingBool('page/dimOutOfPageAreas', true);
+cesdk.engine.editor.setSettingBool('mouse/enableZoomControl', true);
+cesdk.engine.editor.setSettingBool('features/undoHistory', true);
+```
+
+**Features** toggle which editing tools and panels appear in the UI:
+
+```typescript title="src/imgly/config/features.ts"
+// Toggle editor features
+cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.crop', true);
+cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.filter', true);
+cesdk.feature.enable('ly.img.adjustment', true);
+```
+
+See [Settings](./settings.md) and [Features](./user-interface/customization/disable-or-enable.md) for the complete reference.
+
+### Explore Plugins
+
+CE.SDK has a rich plugin ecosystem that extends the editor with powerful capabilities. Plugins can add new features, integrate third-party services, or customize editor behavior.
+
+#### Print Ready PDF
+
+Export print-ready PDF/X-3 files with CMYK color profiles for professional printing workflows.
+
+```typescript title="src/imgly/config/plugin.ts"
+import PrintReadyPDFPlugin from '@imgly/plugin-print-ready-pdf';
+
+// Add print-ready PDF export capability
+await cesdk.addPlugin(PrintReadyPDFPlugin());
+```
+
+See [Print Ready PDF](./plugins/print-ready-pdf.md) for setup instructions and configuration options.
+
+#### AI Integration
+
+Extend the editor with generative AI capabilities for text-to-image generation, image enhancement, and intelligent editing features. CE.SDK integrates with various AI providers.
+
+```typescript title="src/imgly/config/plugin.ts"
+import AIPlugin from '@imgly/plugin-ai-generation';
+
+// Configure AI generation
+await cesdk.addPlugin(
+  AIPlugin({
+    provider: 'your-ai-provider',
+    apiKey: 'your-api-key'
+  })
+);
+```
+
+See [AI Integration](./user-interface/ai-integration.md) for provider setup and supported AI features.
+
+#### Custom Asset Sources
+
+Connect external asset libraries like Unsplash, Getty Images, or your own content management system. Asset sources let users browse and insert content from any source.

+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Editor doesn't load
+
+- **Check the container element exists**: Ensure your container element is in the DOM before calling `create()`
+- **Verify the baseURL**: Assets must be accessible from the CDN or your self-hosted location
+- **Check console errors**: Look for CORS or network errors in browser developer tools
+
+### Assets don't appear
+
+- **Check network requests**: Open DevTools Network tab and look for failed requests to `cdn.img.ly`
+- **Self-host assets for production**: See [Serve Assets](./serve-assets.md) to host assets on your infrastructure
+
+### Export fails or produces blank images
+
+- **Wait for content to load**: Ensure images are fully loaded before exporting
+- **Check CORS on images**: Remote images must allow cross-origin access
+
