Uploading a revision into your Design Library is easy. Following the steps below will ensure that original comments, customer “Favoritings”, and this design's order history will remain intact.
The Most Important Detail
The moment an item with your design is added to a cart, Spoonflower saves a print-ready copy of the design file from your Design Library. If you update a revision of the design for an item already in your cart and then place your order, the design will NOT be updated.
Drop down to Design Revision Examples for specific explanations.
Uploading a Revision
There are two primary reasons you may need to upload a revision:
- Spoonflower has contacted you about a printing issue that needs resolution
- You have made a change to the existing design
How to upload a revision:
- Sign into your account and navigate to the original Design Page. Make note of the repeat and size settings of the original design for later reference.
- Save the updated design file on your device with a different file name. If you upload a design with the same file name, the original design may remain without any update.
- Click File Options under the image on the left edge of the design layout page and select Replace Current File.
- Click Yes, Continue to start the upload process.
- Once uploaded, it will take 5-10 minutes for the system to update the new design.
- Double check the repeat settings from Step 1
- Confirm the scale is correct
- Click Save
- If you were asked to upload this revision by Spoonflower, please reply to our email and let us know the upload is complete so we can release the order back into production.
Design Revision Details
The moment anyone places an item with your design into their cart, Spoonflower saves a print-ready copy of the design file from your Design Library. This serves as the design-of-record for the entirety of the order. It is important to understand that
- Any changes made to a design after it is placed into the cart will not be reflected in that order.
- The original design ID will remain the same, and all future orders will be printed with the new version.
- Uploading totally new designs over previously saved designs creates confusion for the entire community of Spoonflower and is not recommended.
