1.
Select the menu option Window > Preferences > Save.
2.
Under Auto backup, check the option Enable to activate the Auto Backup function.
3. Type the number of revisions to keep.
4. Select the directory in which the backups should be stored.
Backup files have the same name as the original template with two underscores and a
progressive number (without leading zeros) at the end: originalname__1.OL-template,
originalname__2.OL-template, etc.
Note
The Auto Save function does not cause backup files to be created.
Sharing a template
To share a template, you can send the template file itself, or save the template to a package file,
optionally together with a Job Creation Preset and an Output Creation Preset. (See "Job
Creation Presets" on page399 and "Output Creation Settings" on page407 for more details.)
To create a package file, select File > Package file, see "Package files" below. The package
file has the extension .OL-package.
Generating output from the Designer
Output can be generated directly from the Designer; see "Generating Print output" on page494,
"Generating Email output" on page508 and Generating Web output.
To test a template first, select Context > Preflight. Preflights executes the template without
actually producing output and it displays any issues once it's done (see also: "Testing scripts"
on page229).
Package files
The Package file dialog saves templates and print presets as a package file. Print presets
make it possible to do such things as filtering and sorting records, grouping documents and
splitting the print jobs into smaller print jobs, as well as the more standard selection of printing
options, such as binding, OMR markings and the like. See "Job Creation Presets" on page399
and "Output Creation Settings" on page407 for more details.
