Book Style Guides

 

What a Book Style Includes

  • Activating a book style in the Catalog activates all associated templates, mods, and artwork, along with a Style Guide template.
  • See also the Activating Templates, Mods and Art tutorial to learn how to activate individual elements without activating the whole book style.

Using the Style Guide in Page Design

  1. In Page Design, search the template library for “style guide” and drag it onto the page.
  2. Placing the style guide template automatically activates all fonts used by that template — they are added to your Settings.
  3. The style guide shows all the colors, fonts, and graphics in the book style — useful for reviewing before committing to a style.

Adding Colors from the Style Guide

  • The book style’s colors are NOT automatically added to your color swatches since you may want to customize or change them.
  • To add a color you want to keep from the style: select the colored element → go to your color panel → click Add Swatch → the CMYK values preload → name it → click Add Swatch.
  • The color is now part of your book’s swatches and available to all users on every page.
