Working with Publishing DesignerStarting Publishing DesignerIn the left pane of the Workplace window, click Author and then click Advanced Tools. A list of advanced tools displays in the right pane. Click on Publishing Designer. NOTE The Designer tools visibility preference can show or hide the Advanced Tools. Regardless of the preference setting, guest users cannot access Publishing Designer. Selecting Publishing Designer downloads a Java applet to your local disk. The first time you do this, you must grant permission. NOTE If you ever click Deny in response to the Java applet download, you will not be able to download it until you have closed all instances of your browser. Scroll barsJava applets do not have scroll bars for the window. Various panels inside the window have scroll bars when applicable. If you make the window so small that some items do not appear, resize it so the items reappear. Required dataRequired entries are indicated by a red asterisk (*). Closing Publishing DesignerWe recommend that you always use File > Exit when closing Publishing Designer so you do not lose any work. When you use Exit on the File menu to close Publishing Designer, you see a dialog that prompts you to save or cancel. If you close the window using any other means, the program terminates immediately with no opportunity to save. If you were modifying a template, this can leave it in a checked out state, and work you have done is not saved. To resume working with the template and check it in, you have to assume the checkout. See the "Assume a checkout" section of Modify a publish template for more information . Another advantage of using the Exit menu option is that you immediately release the server's memory. If you just close the browser window, the memory is still in use until the work session times out on the server. |
