Editing File Management Procedures (section)

====InDesign Workflow====

InDesign has numerous functions that are critical to efficient workflows, including:
*Master Pages
*Paragraph & Character Styles 
*Importing a linked InDesign file within another to reuse common design elements

At any point that you find yourself repeating elements across multiple pages, take the time to create a single source of the asset that can be managed as a single asset. Remember that you can also use layers in Illustrator to create interactive elements, such as navigation menus or buttons and turn the layers on and off in InDesign.

<blockquote>'''Do not''' set typography manually in multiple places of a print layout. Always use paragraph styles so that future changes can be applied quickly to a style and updated holistically.</blockquote>

<blockquote>'''Do not''' use manual soft breaks in paragraphs to improve the line breaks. When a line break is requested, use a slightly different paragraph margin or character spacing and apply as a sub style.</blockquote>
