Upload the tile and set its repeat layout in the configurator.<\/p>\n<p>If an element extends beyond a tile\u2019s edge, it must continue correctly in the neighbouring copy. For a standard repeat, check that opposite edges match \u2014 left with right and top with bottom.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"check-the-joins-and-pattern-rhythm\">Check the joins and pattern rhythm<\/h2>\n<p>View several copies of the tile side by side and above and below one another. Zoom in on the joins, then zoom out.
