This will open the QR Code Template Details drawer.
First, add a template name. Then you have the option to add a template description. Next, select the domains you would like the template applied to before adjusting your design.
When you are selecting Domains, keep in mind that this template will then be available to all users who have access to the domain.

Some lighter colors do not render properly. For example, yellow may be hard to scan. Always test your QR codes before distribution to ensure scannability.
Shapes - BLINK offers the ability to customize the shape of the QR code body, inner, and outer eyes.
Image - Upload an image or logo to appear in the center of the QR code.
