Studio Updates: Bulk Presets and Repositioning by team, journal
Studio Updates: Bulk Presets and Repositioning
More updates have been made to the Studio in response to community feedback! In addition to the new Scheduled tab that launched last week, you can now bulk apply presets to existing drafts and reorder drafts in your Studio.
Bulk Applying Presets
Your preset templates can now be applied in bulk to existing drafts. Select the items you’d like to apply a preset to, click Edit, and then click “Preset Template” to choose the preset you want to apply to the selected items.
Remember that you can create multiple presets for the different types of art you submit frequently, such as portrait photography or cake decorating.
Repositioning
You can now reposition and reorder drafts in the Studio to sort items based on your preferences. To reorder your drafts in Studio, you can either drag and drop items into your preferred order, or you can click on the three-dot menu on an individual draft and select an option from the “Order” sub-menu.

New preset tools: templates, watermarks, and more!
You can now set multiple preset templates in the Studio!
The presets feature lets you easily set defaults for each deviation you submit, saving time and energy when uploading and submitting files. When the Studio launched, a common request from deviants was the ability to have different presets for different needs, and now you can! Set up different presets for when you submit photography, traditional art, adoptables, and more.
Watermark and Gallery Presets
You can now also set watermarks and galleries when setting up your presets! This was another community request that will help speed up your submission process.
In addition, you can bulk edit watermarks in the Studio. Simply select the files you want to change, and then select Watermark from the Edit menu.

Rolling out a more reliable rich text editor by team, journal
Rolling out a more reliable rich text editor
An updated and improved rich text editor is gradually being rolled out across DeviantArt!
Why is the current editor being replaced?
DeviantArt’s existing text editor lets you do a variety of things, from basic formatting to embedding deviations and journals in comments. However, it also leaves more room for instability and bugs to manifest, particularly as the third-party technology the editor was built upon has been depreciated over time.
This makes for a frustrating experience for deviants and the developer team alike, as more bugs arise and they become increasingly difficult – and sometimes not feasible – to fix.
What’s happening now?
The team has been hard at work for the past several months rebuilding the editor from the ground up, using more reliable technology that allows for better support and future improvements.
When using the new editor, you’ll see some subtle differences, but the available features should remain largely the same.
You may experience some bugs during the

Psalms of war the axe of Duty by Backjack-Kitsune, literature
Literature
Psalms of war the axe of Duty
He once said to us; to be duty bound is to tie your soles
to mother earth. To seek not the loyalty of the lupine
that sparks the ferocity of her pack. But to relentlessly
chop away at the day that has granted a way to live
your life the way that makes you feel strong.
Taking thy ax in hand and tearing through the sands
of time and space not for the ideas of the bucks, and
does that rather play but the aged that are looking
for one to take their place, and keep the world moving
in the right direction, and towards perfection.
Yes, to be duty bound is to hound after the ideas of
the order, that keeps all things functioning . Even if
to sacrifice the loyalty of you sister wolf's pack. She
will understand that with out the ax to keep those in-line;
disharmony will soon intervene cut through their ties.
