Warning
No backup files are maintained in the template. The only way to recover a deleted
section, is to click Undo on the Edit menu, until the deleted section is restored. After
closing and reopening the template it is no longer possible to restore the deleted context
this way.
Sections
Sections are parts of one of the contexts in a template: Print or Email. They contain the main
text flow for the contents. In each of the contexts there can be multiple sections. A Print context,
for example, may consist of two sections: a covering letter and a policy.
Adding a section
To add a section to a context, right-click the context (Email or Print) on the Resources pane,
and then click New section.
The new section has the same settings as the first section in the same context. However,
custom style sheets and JavaScript files aren't automatically included in the new section.
It is not possible to use a Template Wizard when adding a section to an existing template.
Tip
If an Email context is going to be part of the template, it is recommended to start with an
Email Template Wizard; see "Creating an Email template with a Wizard" on page101.
After creating a template, contexts can be added to it, but that can not be done with a
wizard.
Editing a section
To open a section, expand the Contexts folder on the Resources pane, expand the respective
context (Print or Email) and double-click a section to open it.
Each section can contain text, images and many other elements (see "Content elements" on
page117), including variable data and other dynamic elements (see "Personalizing Content"
on page219).
