This option is on by default. When enabled, Pixquare will detect changes in the artwork and save them automatically.
If we're trying something new and afraid that it could ruin our work, temporarily turning this off might be a good solution.
At the top of the screen, there is a toast notification that will show up quite often to notify us of what's going on. If that becomes a distraction for us, we can simply hide it away with this option.
Same as the toast screen, when the contextual menu appears, each button will have a label to tell us what it does. We can customize how long that label will stay on the screen here.
The layer panel (timeline) can be docked into 3 positions on the screen: bottom, left, and right.
We can choose the position here
By default, the layer panel leaves enough space at the bottom for the palette and gesture pad (if enabled). When working with long animations, having a longer timeline to show more frames really helps with the workflow.
To expand the timeline to take the entire width of the screen, enable this option.
Note that this option is only available when the timeline is docked to the bottom position.
These are the buttons under the slider to undo/redo actions. We can enable or disable them here. Because we can already undo/redo by 2-finger/3-finger tap, we can disable these buttons if we want to clean up the UI a bit.
You can 2-finger tap and 3-finger tap to undo/redo by default, but if we don't want that, we can disable that here.
The color picker can already pick the alpha channel values for our colors. This slider is only a quick way to adjust that without needing to open the color picker or only to change the opacity temporarily without changing the base color. Because of the fact that the opacity slider is not a crucial part of the UI, we can also disable it to make the UI cleaner.
Frames and tiles are numbered starting from 1. However, a few users prefer them starting at 0 instead. Well, turn this on and 0 is the new 1.
In some cases, we need to export frequently. To reduce the number of taps we need to export, we can add an export button to the canvas with this option.
Pixquare is localized in multiple languages, the default language is the language of your phone, and if not available, it will use English. If the default language is not what you want, you can change it to one of the other supported languages.
Pixquare automatically records a few stats while we draw, so we can check these stats anytime.
Just a link to this guide :D

This button will be hidden when 9. Export button on canvas is enabled
