Manually creating a project in one2edit™

Created on 25th November 2016 at 12:11 by Jamie O'Connell

This lesson is about how to manually create a project in one2edit™ (i.e. without the use of the Project Creation Assistant).

NOTE:
This lesson assumes that you have already uploaded the .zip archive of your InDesign® Package to your one2edit asset space.

'File > Browse Asset Spaces'

Select a folder in the 'Projects' tab and click on 'File > Browse Asset Spaces' to open the Asset Browser.

Extract the Archive

Select your .zip archive.
Click the 'Extract Zip' button.

This will extract the compressed document and associated links to a new sub-folder.

NOTE:
If you have not already uploaded the .zip archive containing your InDesign^® package, then please refer to the appropriate lesson in this Knowledge Base.

Open the new Folder

Double-click the new document folder in the right-hand pane to open it.

Check for the Links Folder

Ensure that a 'Links' folder exists.

If not, then it was missing from your archive and you should re-create your InDesign® document package and archive file to include the document links.

NOTE:
There may also be a 'Document fonts' folder. Such a folder is only required if you do not have your fonts centrally uploaded via 'Settings > Font Packages'.

Create Project from InDesign® Document

Select the InDesign® document.
Click 'Create Project' in the bottom-right corner of the window.

This will create a one2edit project in your selected folder using your InDesign document as the master document.

NOTE:
If the 'Create Project' button is grayed out, then it means that you have not selected a target folder in your 'Projects' tab, or that a project has already been created from this document.
