Duplicating a Style

Styles can easily be duplicated to produce multiple styles with slight variations.

Duplicating a style

1. From the 'Style Manager' create a new style.
2. Provide a name, and under 'Source', select Copy From.

3. In the 'Existing Style' dropdown, select the style you want to copy from. 

   

Duplicating styles across publications

If you want to create a duplicate of a style, but place it within a different publication, use the 'Style Type' function which is fully explained here. If you're already familiar with style types, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the 'Style Manager', set the style that you want to make a copy of to Global.
2. Navigate to the publication you want the copy to be created in.
3. Create a new style.
4. Provide a name.
5. Under the 'Source' option, select Copy From, then select the style from step 1.
6. Select OK. You now have a duplicate of the original style.
7. Navigate back to the 'Style Manager' of the publication the global style originated from.
8. Change the global style's 'Scope' back to Publication.
