Where to find itObject › Library and source object
You publish a selection as a source object and place linked copies in other documents. An agency can reuse a logo or imprint block across several brochures this way. The copy keeps the content in the destination document and can update from the source. Text segments you explicitly designate as local overrides survive updating. You can maintain shared design elements while retaining local adjustments for a particular edition.
