🖋️ Adding Titles, Watermarks, and Branding to Your Criss Cross Math Puzzles

1. What This Tutorial Covers

This tutorial shows you how to set up and apply branding elements such as titles, descriptions, watermarks, and logos to your Criss Cross Math puzzles using global and module-level settings.

This tutorial applies to:
Puzzle Maker Pro – Criss Cross Math

2. Introduction

Why Add Branding?

Branding transforms your puzzles from generic to professional. Whether you’re creating educational materials, printable products, or books for sale, consistent branding enhances trust, usability, and recognition.

What You’ll Learn

You’ll learn how to:

Set up global branding (title, description, watermark/logo)
Apply dynamic or custom content to each puzzle
Combine layout, font, and position controls for clean branding output

3. Setting Up Branding Globally

Step 1: Go to the Output Settings Tab

Open Puzzle Maker Pro and go to the Output Settings tab (not inside the puzzle module yet).
Enable the checkbox labeled Use Branding, or click the Set Branding button.

Step 2: Configure Branding Settings

In the branding setup window, you can:

Set a global font for title, description, and watermark areas
Choose font size, alignment, and position for each branding element
Add a Watermark or Logo image (this is shared across all puzzles)

🔎 Note:
The Title and Description can be set individually for each puzzle (within modules).
The Watermark/Logo is fixed globally and appears the same in every puzzle — but you can still edit it anytime.

4. Using the Branding Tab in Criss Cross Math

After enabling global branding, open the Branding tab in the Criss Cross Math module.

Step 1: Set Puzzle-Specific Title and Description Options

For both Title and Description, you can choose one of the following options:

Custom – Use your own text (static)
Operators – Automatically insert the puzzle’s operator(s)
Range – Automatically insert the puzzle’s number range
Operators and Range – Combine both (e.g., “Addition & Subtraction – Up to 100”)

💡 Tip: Use dynamic content like “Operators and Range” to auto-label puzzles when generating batches with varying difficulty.
