Preview Work
To ensure the image looks crisp and is positioned correctly:

- Use the Zoom In tool at the top of the screen to inspect the logo or signature for clarity.
- If the image appears stretched or too small, return to the Design tab to adjust the dimensions of the merge field.
Pro-Tip
- For the best results, ensure the image is in a high-resolution .png or .jpg
- For signatures, a transparent background is recommended so it doesn't overlap the check lines awkwardly.
