Each of these 'Text Segment' panels will be described below.

1. 'Segment Information'
2. 'Reset Versions'
3. 'Text Formats'
4. 'Content Rules (Policies)'
5. 'Glyphs'

1. 'Info':
   • ID: The unique ID of the selected text segment
   • Revision: The current revision number of this text segment
   • Date: Date of the most recent change
   • Status: Shows if the text has been changed or not.
   • Name: In this field, you can assign a name to this text segment. This may make it easier to locate segments via API calls.
   • Show: Choose when this text segment (or delimiter) will be displayed, depending on the state of the surrounding segments.
2. 'Edit': Clicking 'Edit' opens the 'Text Editor' window.
3. 'Revisions': This table displays the revision history for the selected text segment. This can help to identify who made what changes to a text segment and when those changes were made. Double-clicking on a revision will open the 'Revision View' window.
4. 'Compare Revisions': Clicking on this icon opens the 'Compare Revisions' window. There are two different view modes: 'merge' and 'difference'. A direct comparison between any two revisions is possible.

This panel controls how changes made to this segment in the master document will be applied to the version documents.

'Reset Version Segment'
The choices for applying changes made to the segment are:

1. to use the previously defined settings (via 'File > Default Reset Settings').
2. that any changes will be marked as 'Needs Edit/Translation', 'Needs Adaptation' or 'Needs Review'.
3. that the new text should be applied to the version documents. There is an option to do this only if those segments have not already been changed in the version document.
4. that any text changes within the current master document will be applied to version documents both still 'in progress' and 100% complete.

'Version Segments':
This table displays the current status of the selected segment in the version documents.

NOTE:
If none of the options above are chosen, the actions set under 'File > Default Reset Settings' will occur.

5. 'Justify Center': All text segments will be aligned to both sides of a text frame except for the last line, which will be centered.
6. 'Justify Right': All text segments will be aligned to both sides of a text frame except for the last line, which will be right-aligned.
7. 'Justify Full': All text segments, including the last line, will be aligned to both sides of a text frame.
8. 'Align Towards Spine': All text segments on a left-hand page will be right-aligned. Those on a right-hand page will be left-aligned.
9. 'Align Away From Spine': All text segments on a left-hand page will be left-aligned. Those on a right-hand page will be right-aligned.

An 'Indent' is a blank space between a margin and the beginning of a line of text.

1. 'Left Indent': Tab size for a left indent used throughout the page.
2. 'Right Indent': Tab size for a right indent used throughout the page.

A 'Drop Cap' is the first letter of a paragraph that is enlarged to 'drop' down two or more lines. It can often be found at the beginning of a novel or chapter.

7. 'Drop Cap Lines': Define the number of lines by which the character should be dropped. This value includes the line on which the text resides.
8. 'Drop Cap Characters': Define the number of characters that will be dropped.

The 'Character Styles' panel lists the character styles in the document. The character style of the selected text is highlighted in the list.

The 'Paragraph Styles' panel lists the paragraph styles in the document. The paragraph style of the selected text is highlighted on the list.

Using the 'Content Rules' window, you can apply 'Content Rules (Policies)' to individual text segments. Multiple content rules can be assigned for both, editors and reviewers.

NOTE:
Any content rules assigned in this panel will be added to those for the content group (logical AND). Therefore, care needs to be taken when creating and assigning content rules.

The 'Glyphs' palette provides access to special characters that are not always available via the keyboard. The correct display of the document depends on the character's support in the font. The 'Glyphs' panel provides access to all the glyphs (letterforms) in the selected font, as well as the InDesign® special characters, such as symbols, dashes, spaces, and more.
