Beginners' Questions Baffled by export units

    I am used to using Adobe (mac) but I'm trying to help my sister who is using inkscape 1.3 in windows.

    I'm also used to using inches as my units (except resolution, of course).

    I don't get units in the export panel. The screenshot attached shows the current dimensions of the file I'm (she's) working with. It needs to be large enough to fit a shower curtain (approximately 70"). I know, vector...should be fine. She is uploading files to zazzle.com, which is finicky and sometimes she gets messages that the image will be bitmapped.

    Does anyone have any insight into this situation?

    Thank you!

    I'd set the document properties to inches and work full-scale. Then I'd save a copy as pdf for Zazzle.
