How to use it

In the dashboard, choose Create template, select "Start from a template" and pick "Revision comparison table". The layout and sample data are copied into your project.
Edit the company name, logo and field positions in the template editor to match your own format.
Send the template name and data to POST /v1/renders to issue a PDF.
