Our most frequently asked questions. For any other questions, join us on Discord: create.xyz/discord or email help@create.xyz.
Which AI model is recommended for coding or detailed text generation?
Anthropic Claude Sonnet 3.5 or GPT-4 or are widely preferred for code generation and detailed responses. Other models may work well for initial setups or creative brainstorming but are generally less effective for coding.
Is GPT-4 Vision suitable for OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tasks?
GPT-4 Vision can recognize handwriting and text in images, but success depends on image quality and text clarity.
Can I submit a Create-built web app to app stores (iOS/Android)?
Create currently supports web apps only. You can consider using platforms like Unity or other web wrappers to package your web app into a mobile app.
How can I transfer data between different pages in my Create project?
Data transfer can be managed by linking databases or using functions to route data across pages and components.
How do I integrate user accounts with specific pages?
Pages can require login via User Accounts, with access managed through prompts or code. For projects with multiple user roles, assign specific permissions for each role's designated pages. Custom logic may be needed for unique role-based dashboards or interfaces.
Is there a way to organize components, functions, and pages more effectively in Create?
Currently, there’s no support for dragging, dropping, or grouping in the list view, but this feedback is noted as a potential improvement area.
How do I manage components in larger projects, and what should be made into components?
Components work well for reusable UI blocks like headers, cards, and pop-ups. Use them to isolate logic and UI elements, but avoid overusing them to reduce project complexity and loading issues.
Is it possible to share output across different AI models?
Outputs from different models aren’t directly shareable, but you can generate versions with different models and compare them. Use the Retry button to switch models if variations are needed.
How can I collect emails and send generated text to users through email?
Add an email input field to collect and save emails, and link to an email API for sending content. Basic functionality is available on the free plan, with advanced automation possible through APIs like Beehiiv or SendGrid.
How do I change the title of a page (tab text)?
Rename the page at the top of the builder interface to update the browser tab title.
How do I duplicate a project or copy pages to a new project?
Create doesn’t support direct project duplication. Save components and functions to replicate in new projects, or use screenshots as a workaround.
How do I enable email notifications for generated content?
Set up an email integration with a function that connects to an email API. Services like Beehiiv or Mailchimp can manage email lists and notifications.
Can I reserve a project’s .app subdomain after deletion?
Deleting a project releases the subdomain, making it available for reuse. To reserve it, keep the project active.
What should I do if my app isn’t saving form data?
Verify the form is linked to the database and that fields are mapped correctly. Test the database connection by previewing form entries and checking form settings and permissions.
How can I set up dynamic content that adjusts based on user roles or login status?
Through User Accounts, you can create role-specific content by toggling visibility based on user roles, using conditionals for role-specific component displays.
How can I link pages within my project on Create?
Copy the URL of the page you want to link, and use Create’s linking features located in build mode and the design panel. You can also link pages using the chat directly.
How can I integrate my own API keys (e.g., for Beehiiv or another service)?
Save API keys as secrets in Create, and reference them within functions where you call the API.
What’s the best approach for embedding tracking codes, like Google Analytics?
Embed your tracking code from the analytics tool, being cautious with security when adding external scripts.
How do I upload and use my own audio files?
Use the source URL option in the audio component to link to your uploaded audio file.
What do I do if I’m unable to re-enable User Accounts after disabling them?
If associated pages or databases were deleted, re-enabling User Accounts might not recreate them. Contact support or revert to a previous version with User Accounts intact.
How can I access previous versions of my project?
Use version history to revert pages, components, and functions, helpful for troubleshooting or restoring lost elements.
What is the maximum file size for image uploads, and how do I handle image storage?
For larger images, use Cloudinary or a similar service, setting up an external function to store and retrieve image URLs for efficient handling.
How do I integrate GPT-4o, and does it support file uploads?
GPT-4o currently doesn’t support file uploads. Use file conversion tools or parse text files before sending the content to GPT-4o.
Are there any promo codes or discounts for Create?
Promo codes are occasionally available; check Create's affiliate program or contact support for active promotions.
How do I manage and track components in larger projects?
Components are ideal for reusable UI blocks like headers, cards, and pop-ups. Use components to organize projects into smaller, manageable parts, but avoid overusing them to keep project complexity low.
What happens to my published app if I unsubscribe from Create Pro?
Your published app will continue to work, but the Create logo will reappear if it was removed with the Pro plan.
