Step 1: Open the create menu and start a new frame
Open The Forge. Locate the create menu trigger in the Forge tree (badge 1) and click it to expand the options.
Select New Frame from the menu. Fabled creates a blank frame and opens the setup panel.
Step 2: Name the frame and assign it to a game and category
Type a descriptive name into the name field. Pick the target game and content category from the dropdowns below it.
Use the right-hand panel to place the frame inside a Forge folder. This keeps it alongside the elements that will reference it.
Step 3: Explore the root container canvas
After setup, the Frame Editor opens on the frame's root container. This is the top-level surface for your layout.
The canvas starts empty. You build the layout by dropping components onto it from the left palette.
Step 4: Drag a component from the palette onto the canvas
The left palette lists every available building block: Text, Image, Video, Table, Icon, and Container.
Click the content category button (badge 4) to browse components grouped by type. Drag any item onto the root container to add it to the frame.
Step 5: Select a component and bind it to element data
Click any component on the canvas to select it. Its properties appear in the right panel.
Enter an expression in the content field to bind the component to live data. For example, use {{element.name}} for a text label or {{element.portrait}} for an image source.
