Modify a publish templateTo modify a template, you check it out of the object store. After making your revisions, you check it back into the object store. This creates a new version of the template. Alternatively, you can check out a copy, modify it, and add it as a new template. To check out a template
After opening a publish template, you can select the appropriate tabs to modify any of the publish template settings. When finished, select any of the following options. Check In (File menu and toolbar)Use Check In to put the template back in the object store as a new version. Except for screen titles, procedures for checking in a template are like those for adding a new template. See Add template to object store for more information. Cancel Checkout (File menu and toolbar)Use Cancel Checkout to return the template to the object store without modifying it. This keeps the template at the same version. To cancel a checkout using an Alt key sequence, press <Alt>+<F>. When the File menu displays, release both keys, and then press <H>. If you do not release both keys, the Help menu displays instead. New (File menu and toolbar)Use New if you open a template, modify it, and then decide you do not want to keep the modifications. A dialog appears and prompts you to specify how you want to handle the changes you have made to the template. Click YES to save the current changes and check in the template as a new version. Click NO to return the template to the object store without modifying it. Assume a checkoutBy default, only the person who checks out a template (plus the administrator) can check it back in. When an administrator needs to check in or cancel your checkout, he or she must assume your checkout. You might even need to do this yourself. For example, if you close Publishing Designer without using File > Exit, and you have a template checked out, that template will be "stranded" in a checked-out state in the object store. Because it was never checked in, anyone who tries to check out the template will see that the Check Out option is unavailable (in the Open Publish Template dialog). Use the Copy option to assume a checked out template. As long as you checked it out originally or you are an administrator, you can assume the checkout and then check it in or cancel the checkout. The person assuming the checkout will see the following message:
Answer Yes to modify the template and/or check it in or cancel the checkout. Answer No to get a copy of the template. If your checked out template is assumed by someone else who checks it in or cancels the checkout, you will get an error message if you also attempt to check it in or cancel the checkout. Modify an earlier versionUse this procedure to get a copy of an earlier version of a template to use as a starting point for a new template.
