Congratulations, you’ve designed your own custom Flowcode! Now it’s time to get it formatted and printed to place it wherever you need in the physical world. Follow this simple step-by-step process to get activated. 

1. Download your Flowcode to your computer

2. Open or Log In to Google Drive 

3. Create A New Document 

• Press +New to create a new page
• Select a ‘Blank Document’ or ‘From a template’

• If you want to change your page size for a different printing resolution, you can do so through reformatting the document. Follow these steps: 
• File > Page Setup > Paper size dropdown menu > select appropriate size (Tabloid, etc, etc) 

4. Upload your Flowcode onto the document 

• Option 1: Select ‘Insert’ from the top navigation > Select ‘Image’ from the dropdown > Select ‘Upload from your computer’ > Click your Flowcode

5. Resize your Flowcode 

• Click and hold your uploaded Flowcode image > grab a blue square from the border of your image > hold 'Option' to keep proportions locked > drag inward or outward to resize
• Tip: The code should take up about ½ of the width of the page to ensure that it will scan and print well.

6. Add Call To Action Text
