Groups in Digital layouts
If you have multiple overlapping picture boxes and graphic text boxes, you may be
able to streamline your export by grouping the boxes and then checking Convert to
Graphic on Export (Item > Modify) for the group. If you do not group such boxes,
they all export as separate HTML elements. If you group them, however, they export
as a single graphic object.
Synchronizing content between orientations
The commands described in this topic let you synchronize a page's content between
the various layouts in a layout family. For example, if you create a table of contents
on page 2 of the vertical layout for the iPad, you can use the commands described
here to automatically turn that table of contents into shared content and copy it to
page 2 of the horizontal layout for the iPad. You may need to reposition and/or resize
the content in the other layouts, but these commands automate the process of getting
the content to the appropriate pages in each device and orientation, and they help
ensure that that content stays consistent on all of the pages where it appears.
For more information about shared content, see "Working with shared content" in A
Guide to QuarkXPress. To understand how the commands described below work, you
must first understand how shared content works.
Item > Copy to Other Layouts: This command turns all selected boxes into shared
content and places copies of them on the same page of other layouts in the layout
family. The submenu for this command lets you be more specific about how this copy
is performed:
• Same Position: Puts the copies in the same position relative to the upper-left
corner of the page, if possible. This option copies items to all other layouts in the
layout family.
• Use Relative Positioning: Puts the copies in the same position relative to the
page size and shape overall. This option copies items to all other layouts in the
layout family.
Updating missing files
Multiple missing digital files can now be updated all at once using the Usage dialog.
Reviewing Digital Publishing asset usage
To see which assets have been used in interactivity in the active layout, display the
Digital Publishing pane of the Usage dialog box (Utilities menu). Like the Pictures
pane, the Digital Publishing pane lists the page number for each Digital Publishing
asset in the layout. It also includes a Type column that indicates the asset type and a
Source column that indicates whether the asset is a file or a folder. To view more
information about the selected asset, expand the More Information area at the bottom.
Working with Reflow

exporting to either Fixed or Reflow. Reflow view lets end users view content in a
