Editing Project Workflow (section)

==Project Workflow==

===On starting a new project===
Designers should create a job folder using the template, so that all structure is intact CREATIVE/~ XXXXX JobName
*Multiple concepts can be combined into a single file when only one page is being prepared, such as for a flyer or single ad. (''Example: c1a-56843-v1-Results Interpretation Flyer.indd'')
*For projects that entail multiple pages or components, each layout file should contain only one concept. (''Example: The Creative folder will have 2 files, c1a-56843-v1-Results Interpretation Flyer.indd and c2a-56843-v1-Results Interpretation Flyer.indd'')
*For projects with multiple concepts, create '''one''' presentation file for upload to seeker and passoff to the client. Take all individual PDFs and combine them into a "p" file. (''Example: p1a-56843-v1-Results Interpretation Flyer.indd'')
*Before saving out our PDF, please be sure to go to File > File Info and fill in the File name with the name of the InDesign document. This helps us have a reference to the working file if the client ever saves the PDF with a different name and we need to reference the working file down the line. Please be mindful to keep this up-to-date each time a change is made
*Once a PDF is made, confirm that the ‘Initial View’ properties are set to:
**Navigation Tab: Pages Panel & Page
**Page Layout: Single Page
**Magnification: Fit Page
**'''AT&T ONLY'''
***Page Layout: Single Page Continuous
***Magnification: Fit Page (unless a digital project, which is always 75%)
***Open to Page: 1

===After receiving internal revisions===
*Designers are expected to create a new version of a layout file whenever they receive feedback that changes the current file. 
*Never save over a previous version.
*There is no need to append your initials. Simply change the letter to the next in the alphabet. (''Example: Change file from c1a-56843-v1-Results Interpretation Flyer.indd to c1b-56843-v1-Results Interpretation Flyer.indd'')
*PDFs that are circulated internally for review should retain this naming structure.

===After receiving client feedback===
*Files will be updated to reflect that the client version has changed, going from v1 to v2 and the tracking code then returns to the letter a. (''Example: Change file from c1c-56843-v1-Results Interpretation Flyer.indd to c1a-56843-v2-Results Interpretation Flyer.indd'')
*In instances where multiple single-paged concepts were created in one file, after selection of approved concepts, the layout files should be separated into distinct files 
**3 concepts were developed in a file labeled c1. Each distinct concept will now receive a unique tracking code in sequential order (e.g. c1, c2, c3).
*All older versions are then moved to the Old Versions folder.
