updates display in the layout artist's project. And like the advertisement, the article can
be edited later in the project.
Top: The main layout artist exports parts of a project as Composition Zones, and then sends
one file through e-mail to a remote ad designer and puts another file on a local networked
server. Middle: The main layout artist, the reporter, and the ad designer all work on their parts
of the page simultaneously. Bottom: The ad designer sends the completed ad to the main
layout artist in an e-mail message, the page updates automatically, and the layout is done.
The scenario above shows the primary uses for Composition Zones, but the feature can
accommodate other collaborative workflow issues as well. For example, Composition Zones
can be restricted to the project where they are defined, which you might want to do for a
number of reasons. Perhaps the layout artist wants to use an ad in more than one place
in the project, and the ad might include multiple text and picture boxes. You cannot use
the Content palette to synchronize a group of items, but if the layout artist creates a
Composition Zones item based on a selection of multiple items, that Composition Zones
item becomes synchronized and available for use throughout the project. Maybe the layout
artist designates one layout for the printed magazine and another layout in the same
project for a Web page that includes the ad. The layout artist can restrict the use of this
Composition Zones item to this single project, but the ad can match exactly in print and
on the Web.
