-
-    ## Step 2: Install Dependencies
-
-    Install the required packages:
-
-    <TerminalTabs syncKey="package-manager">
-      <TerminalTab label="npm">
-        cd starterkit-form-based-template-adoption-ts-web
-        npm install
-      </TerminalTab>
-
-      <TerminalTab label="pnpm">

-      <TerminalTab label="yarn">
-        cd starterkit-form-based-template-adoption-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>

-    └── plugins/
-        └── form-based-template-adoption.ts
-    ```
-
-    ## 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 { initFormBasedTemplateAdoption } from './imgly';
-
-    const config = {
-      userId: 'your-user-id',
-      baseURL: '/assets'
-      // license: 'YOUR_LICENSE_KEY',
-    };
-
-    CreativeEditorSDK.create('#cesdk_container', config)
-      .then(async (cesdk) => {
-        await initFormBasedTemplateAdoption(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 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);
-});
-```
-
-> **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'
-  }
-});
-
-// Set the active locale
-cesdk.i18n.setLocale('en');
-```
-
-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'
-);
-```
-
-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.
-
-### 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.

-
-## 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
-
-### Form inputs not updating preview
-
-- **Check variable bindings**: Ensure form fields are properly mapped to template variables
-- **Verify template structure**: Template must have properly defined placeholders
-
-### Watermark appears in production
-
-- **Add your license key**: Set the `license` property in your configuration
-- **Sign up for a trial**: Get a free trial license at [img.ly/forms/free-trial](https://img.ly/forms/free-trial)
