Adding a snippet to a section
Drag-and-drop
To add the snippet to the content of a section, drag the snippet from the Snippets folder on the
Resources pane to the desired location in a section.
Check the option Insert as shared content to insert a reference to the original snippet in the
template, rather than a copy of the original snippet.
When a snippet is being used as shared content, the contents of the snippet itself are not added
to the page. Modifying the snippet on the page actually modifies the snippet's source. If a
snippet is used in multiple locations (such as different contexts and sections), modifying one
instance will modify all of them at once.
Note
Remote snippets inserted as shared content cannot be changed from within the Designer. Of course,
their source file can be edited outside of the Designer. When that happens, the changes will become
visible in remote snippets that are inserted as shared content.
Via a script
In addition to the drag-and-drop method, it is possible, and often useful, to insert a snippet or
part of it, using a script; for remote snippets this is normal practice. See "Loading a snippet via
a script" on page706.
Tip
To export a snippet from your template, drag or copy/paste it out of the Snippets folder to a folder
on the local hard drive.
Creating a snippet
To turn a parts of a letter, email or web page into a snippet for reuse in the content of a
template:
1. Select the part that should be saved in a snippet.
2.
Right-click the selection, point to Snippet and click Create.
