Configuration

Definable cases include:

  • Text and image are placed in another layout.
  • The text or image users want to edit text is a master content. But changes should be performed only on va.riants.
  • It can be defined that a variant should be created from the contexts of layout and original content
  • Check-out placements in InDesign
  • When opening placed assets it is checked, whether a variant has to be created.
  • If a variant has to be created, it is created via XSLT, the placement within the layout is swapped and the asset opens.
