F-02 Options - Blank Template

Blank template is InDesign documents that contains all of the elements that are used in the publication, such as margins, columns, paginations, names of the sections, paragraph, character and the object of styles... All these elements are extracted from the Blank Template when creating the new edition. If you change something in the blank template, it will be seen only at creating the next edition.

Save Blank Template when saving the basic document, StoryLink creates preview of the pages (.jpg, .pdf) that is used when the section is assigned to the page in the project (Section drop-down menu). That is why, when assigning pages to the sections in StoryEditor, they will all have pagination 1 when you click the preview of the page. Only after first opening the page StoryLink will assign the correct pagination as well as all others tagged attributes previously defined through StoryEditor and tagged at InDesign page
