Edit Template Run-Time Options
These options allow you to add and/or hide specific functionalities from the Dynamic Templates editor. For example, when you have strict branding guidelines you can remove specific functionalities, so that users have less flexibility to deviate from your branding.

Below you'll find the most common used run-time options. Enter one or more of these settings with the desired value in the Template Run-Time Options text box. Comma separate the settings in case you add multiple. For example:
enableImagePaletteOptions=false,showTextPalette=false,maxFontSize=150 - enableImagePaletteOptions
Allows you to specify whether image editing options in the image sidebar are enabled. These options include preserve aspect ratio, rotation options, advanced options, alignment, arrangement and frame to content.
