Editing the contents of a repeating object
When Web Designer Premium creates a repeating object, the repeating items are placed in a containing
'repeating group', similar to a normal group. If you drill down to a layer containing a repeating object in
the Page & Layer Gallery
, you can see that there's a repeating group containing each repeating object on that layer.
Web Designer Premium places each repeating object inside a repeating group
If you want to edit an item inside this repeating group, press "Ctrl + click" on the item to select it inside
the repeating group. You can also double click on a group to edit it in a new sub-document view (or right
click on it and choose Open
from the context menu). It contains only the contents of the group and not the group itself, so you can
select all the direct children of the group just by clicking on them.
Alternatively if you go into a specific tool you can usually click directly on any object that is applicable to
that tool and it will be selected inside its repeating group (or any other type of group). So for example
you can select a Quickshape that's inside a repeating group by simply going into the Quickshape tool and
then clicking on the shape.
As with any other edits made to a repeating object, any edits you make inside a repeating group are
applied to all instances of that repeating object on other pages.
Locking a repeating object
You can lock a repeating object right clicking it and choosing Lock repeating object
. Once locked, the object is not selectable. But editing any other copies of that repeating object on other
pages, which aren't locked, will change all copies, including the locked copy.
Advanced use of Repeating Objects
You can also make any item a repeating item by giving it a special 'LiveCopy:' name. This may be useful
if, for example, you want an object to repeat only on a selected number of pages, and naming it is easier
than deleting the instances you don't want.

Right click the object and choose Names or click the Apply
name button on the right end of the Selector Tool InfoBar.
