Pages and page owners

Add pages from templates, set their status and order, give each page owners, and choose who executes proposals.

A deck is a list of pages. Each page has a name, a status and, if you like, owners: the people who answer for it.

Add a page #

Click + Page at the bottom of the page rail.
Pick a page template.

The new page goes right after the page you're on. The templates are:

Cover: project title, subtitle, credit line, image band.
Section divider: a big number and a section heading.
Full-bleed image: one image edge to edge, with a caption over it.
Image + caption: one image with a heading and caption beside it.
2-up images, 3-up images and 4-up images
Text page: a heading and body text, with an optional side image.
Image + two columns: a wide image over two columns of text.
Big numbers: three key figures with labels.
Credits: team, consultants and image credits.

You can also add any of them from the Styles sheet, under Master pages: click Add to deck.

Move between pages #

Click a page in the rail. With the rail focused, the up and down arrow keys move to the page above or below.

A sparkle with a number on a thumbnail means a proposal in the Queue changes that page. See The Queue.

The page bar #

The bar above the page holds, from left to right:

The page name. Click it and type.
The status: draft, in review or approved. The dot on the page's thumbnail shows it too.
Owners: + owners, or the owners' names. See Page owners.
+ text and + image: add a block. See Blocks and layout.
↑ and ↓: move the page up or down the deck.
duplicate: copy the page, right after it. The copy starts as a draft.
remove: delete the page, after you confirm.

Page owners #

Owners are the people who answer for a page.

On a deck in a project, click + owners and tick people from the project's editors. Click Done. Once someone is deck master, only they (or the project's owners and admins) assign owners.
On a deck on this computer only, click + owners and type names, separated by commas.

Team rules #

A deck in a project has team rules, shown under Team rules in the Inspect tab when nothing is selected. Everyone sees them. The deck master sets them, and so can the project's owners and admins. Until someone is master, any editor can.

The deck master #

The deck master is one person who controls the deck: its rules, its page owners, its pages and their order, the sheet size, the theme and the named styles.

If nobody is master yet, click Become the deck master.
The master can pass the deck to another editor with Hand the deck to, or click Step down as deck master.
The project's owners and admins can always reassign the deck master, so a deck never gets stuck.

Who executes proposals #

Who executes proposals decides who can execute or reject changes waiting in the Queue:

Anyone who can edit (the default)
Only the deck master
Page owners, for their pages: the deck master executes pages without owners and changes to named styles.

Picking either of the last two when nobody is master makes you the deck master.

Under the last two rules, the same people are the only ones who change those pages directly. Everyone else's edits become suggestions: Suggest changes is turned on and locked for them. See Suggest changes.

A deck on this computer only has no team rules. Push it into a project to set them up.
