Working with Subdocuments

Top Previous Topic Next Topic  Print this topic

Using the Online Editor you have the ability to add Subdocuments,(building blocks) which you or your team have already created directly into your template. The Online Editor will also give you the option to make edits to these subdocuments directly in Ecrion Omni System. This section will highlight all of the options you have while working with your subdocuments in Ecrion Omni System.

 

Before you can start working with your subdocuments, you will need to make sure that you have uploaded the necessary files into Ecrion Omni System.
