From design to document in six steps
Cmash guides every stakeholder — from template designers to end users — through a clear, repeatable workflow that produces consistent results at any scale.
Design
Template designers create pixel-perfect Typst layouts and SurveyJS form definitions in the admin panel — powerful tools, clean syntax.
Configure
Set up brands, workspaces, renderers, and datasource connections. Fine-grained roles and per-workspace settings keep everything organized.
Compose
A Document links a Typst template + SurveyJS form + Brandkit together into a reusable, versioned definition ready to be instantiated.
Create
A Project is spawned as an instance of a Document — manually through the admin panel or programmatically via the signed Embed API.
Edit
End users open the embedded editor, fill the form, upload images, drag snippets, and watch a pixel-accurate live preview update in real time.
Produce
One click generates production-ready PDF, PNG, or SVG. Batch mode processes hundreds of data-collection items into a single ZIP archive.
