Associating Template Pages With Targets

If you want a template page (which is created in Flare) to be applied to all topics in the output, you would associate that template page with the target that you are building. This is useful, for example, if you want the template page to include breadcrumbs, a mini-TOC, header content, or footer content for your online outputs.

Permission Required?

Editing content and project files is an activity available to users with the Author status. By default, users with Author status have the following permissions set:

  • If this is deselected, then viewing files in a read-only mode is allowed. On the left side of the page, the Files vertical three-dot menu is not available.

  • If this is deselected, the XHTML in the Code view is read-only.

    Editing code is regarded as a capability for an advanced user. If not done properly, the code can become malformed quickly. Administrators can prevent users from editing the code by deselecting the Edit Code permission.

For more information about permissions, see Setting User Permissions or Setting Team Permissions.
