## Upcoming

**Mix Font Styles within One Text Block**

Fine-tuning text is already easy with CE.SDK. But soon, you’ll be able to mix fonts, sizes, and styles **within a single text box**: create a striking headline with a different font while keeping the paragraph intact, eliminating the need for separate text boxes. This enhancement will streamline template creation, making it easier to maintain an organized design file.

**Add Background to Text**

Applying solid colors behind the text, making titles and captions stand out while improving overall design aesthetics.

**Simplify Design with Presets**

![preset-work-flow.png](https://blog.img.ly/2024/11/preset-work-flow.png)

Choose from **presets** for various design elements, like formats, borders and shadows.

Preset-driven workflows accelerate design processes and provide quick access to essential tools, allowing users to focus on creativity instead of getting lost in the details.
