How to use FigEditor

1. 1First use a specialized tool that is closest to the target, rather than generating directly with broad prompts, to reduce structural rework at a later stage.
2. 2After generation, prioritize revising labels, arrows and module relationships before adjusting colors and layouts to avoid triggering a redraw of the entire graphic due to small changes.
3. 3Before delivery, confirm the requirements for image format, resolution and font from the target journal or conference, and then select the export format.
4. 4The official website page provides a prompt for switching to Simplified Chinese, and Chinese users should first check if the interface language and terminology translations are in line with usage habits.
5. 5When referring to published figures or other people's materials as references, first confirm the boundaries of authorization and citation.
6. 6First generate a structural draft and save it, then refine each module step by step; this preserves the available version and prevents subsequent modifications from damaging the confirmed parts.
7. 7Name the graphic and record the input sources at the same time to facilitate version retrieval later.
