Content Swapping Logic
When a row is loaded at runtime, Catalogue swaps the mapped layer content while preserving the original layer properties from your PLAY project.
How Swapping Works
Text Layers:
The catalogue text replaces the layer's text content
The original text box size, position, font family, font size, color, alignment, and styling are preserved
If the new text is longer than the original, it will wrap or overflow based on the text box configuration in your project
Image Layers:
The catalogue image replaces the layer's image source
The original layer's position, size, and any applied effects are preserved (just like preforming an image swap).
Images are scaled to fit the layer bounds as defined in the project
This swapping approach means you design your creative once with all the styling, positioning, and effects you want, then use the catalogue purely to swap content. You don't need to redefine fonts, colors, or layouts in the catalogue — those are controlled by your PLAY project.
For example:
Your project defines a headline as "Arial Bold, 24pt, Blue, Centered"
Your catalogue just provides the text: "Play Now", "Jouez Maintenant", "Jugar Ahora"
At runtime, each translation displays with the same Arial Bold, 24pt, Blue, Centered styling
