WoW! This is an amazing tool! I followed your video and had a deck of unique cards up in less than 2 hours. That includes the artwork. Well done!

Let's say I have a card layout with some ablilites, e.g. power, that are displayed with bar let's say ten squares. If the power value is 7, then I want 7 squares to be a different color. Is there an easy way to do something like that? Or a difficult, but possible, way?

Absolutely, all you need is a formula in Google sheets to change the style of certain zones based on another cell. See our discord for a guide on how to achieve this as it's quite a common thing.

I'm in the process of using Google Sheets to put my cards from Canva into Dextrous, and I've run into a couple issues: 1. Google Sheets doesn't seem to be able to parse URLs with // in them, so I can't seem to use Imgur or similar for the pictures I'm using. For now, I've removed the Pictures column. I also occasionally want to use a text box or icon for singular cards in a template. Should I create different templates for that? Thanks.

Hey there! 1. Yep urls don't work, instead you need to upload images to Dextrous - watch the first few tutorials if you need guidance on this. 2. If you're talking about just adding/removing a zone on some cards you can just turn on auto show/hide for that zone - then if it doesn't have any data in its cell (ie for card rows 4 and 6 for example) it will automatically hide itself. If you need other style stuff beyond showing and hiding see the tutorial on unique styles for cards.
