1. Re: 'Preserve Local Edits' mystery in Alternate layout
BobLevine Jan 21, 2014 12:29 PM (in response to RPotter_Can)I would call it a limitation and to be perfectly honest, I have not found too many uses for alternate layouts. It’s a great idea in theory but in practice, well, it needs some work.

2. Re: 'Preserve Local Edits' mystery in Alternate layout
RPotter_Can Jan 21, 2014 12:55 PM (in response to BobLevine)Thanks for weighing in Bob.
It's a shame, because the alternate layouts feature is perfect for what I'm trying to accomplish. I've got a series of ads that need to run in over a dozen different publications of different sizes and it's a breeze to have a master layout of say 10 different ads and alternate layouts for all of the publications all in one doc, with the text on all of the alternates subordinate to the text in the master. Whenever I need to update the master copy of any given ad (often - thanks, boss) I can press the 'update all links' button and watch as Indesign instantly delivers this revised content to all of the alternates.
If only I could get the photos to behave the same way.
