- Edit rich text pages
- Personalise text with tokens and templates

Cover
/edit/report/[reportId]Click the Cover page. Pick a theme in the cover editor.

Personalise with tokens
/edit/report/[reportId]Type a token such as {{CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME}} or {{SALESPERSON_NAME}} into the text.
You should see: In the preview and the homeowner view the token becomes the real value; an empty token renders as nothing.

You should see: Each page prints in the order of the Pages list.
