When creating a text zone, a layout console will open. You can modify the font type and size, write in bold, italicize, underline, strike through, change the text color, highlight it, and choose its layout (right-aligned, left-aligned, centered, justified, etc.). The last two buttons allow you to enlarge the console or close it.

- Copy the text zone (only on the same page)
