Publish Pro Ribbons

Add a new page to your publication. Tip: You can also create a new page using the Add button at the top of the Pages panel.

Unlink all sharable items and embed them as separate one-off instances in the publication. For example, unlink shared visuals so that changes to the original visual in, say, Discover or Publish no longer affects the copy in this publication.

Access copy, paste, cut, and delete functions.

Create interactions between slicers and the visuals, placeholders, and so on that they affect in your output publication. For example, create an interaction between a Country slicer and a Sales visual in Interaction Manager so that you can build a publication where the Sales visual shows details from the selected country only.

Define conditions under which a publication, or selected pages within a publication, should be rendered and distributed; that is, the conditions under which the publish action should be "triggered."

Build a new slicer using the New Slicer wizard. Note: When you create a slicer in this view, rather than from the "Quick" option in the Toolbox, you can configure all possible settings.

Enable interactions between visual elements from different data models by creating a "mapping."

Change the basic TEXT features for a selected text field, including font type, size, and headings.

If you move or minimize any of your workspace panels, click this button to reset the workspace back to its default layout.

Change the display size of the canvas when viewed in the app, relative to the available space. The options are: Fit to Page, Fit to Width, and Actual Size.

Show or hide the rulers that can be shown along the top and left of the canvas.

Add guidelines to the canvas, to help you with the layout of the content items. These guidelines are vertical and horizontal lines that are shown when you are building your publication in Publish Pro, but are not shown in the final publication. You can add a set of "preset" guidelines at the top, bottom, left, and right margins by selecting either Normal Preset or Narrow Preset.

Show or hide the background grid.

Enable or disable "snap to grid." Where this is enabled, new items snap to the grid lines when they are added to the canvas. You can also set the size of the grid in the drop-down menu from this button.

Select a preset page size for your publication from the drop-down or select Custom to set a custom page size.

Indicate whether the pages in your publication should use the portrait or landscape orientation.

Choose a theme for your publication. Themes control the colors, fonts, masters, and so on associated with your publication; ensuring a consistent and professional look and feel.

Undo any formatting changes. This action reverts one-off visuals, text, shapes, and uncustomized page backgrounds to the default formatting for the currently selected theme.

Recreate the thumbnail images used for this publication in the Content Manager.

Create AI-generated images in response to a text prompt. Note: The size of the image can either be standard, or match the size of the canvas (for use as a background).

Show or hide error messages in the rendered publication.

Toggle the dynamic text highlighting in Publish Pro. The two states allow you to view the content as your user will see it (without highlights) and use the highlights to quickly identify the dynamic content items for easy editing.

Show an "empty" message when the dynamic text field's underlying data point is empty.

Add a new page to your publication. Tip: You can also create a new page using the Add button at the top of the Pages panel.

Unlink all sharable items and embed them as separate one-off instances in the publication. For example, unlink shared visuals so that changes to the original visual in, say, Discover or Publish no longer affects the copy in this publication.

Change the color of the canvas using the Color Picker.

Generate multiple copies of a selected page in a single publication, with each copy filtered by a different element within the chosen slicer. For example, create a Sales page including visuals and placeholders and use the Page Repeater and Country slicer to repeat that page for each of the countries in the region.

Page Triggers allow you to define conditions under which the Page Repeater should be applied. The result is that the Page Repeater filter is only applied for slices where a custom condition is met.

Change the stacking order of the selected item, as layered on the canvas. (Send content items backwards and bring them forwards so that they are shown or hidden.)

Align the object with the canvas or with another object on the canvas.

Change the background color of the selected visual using the Color Picker.

Customize the Border thickness used by your shape, image, or illustration.

Access the copy, cut, and paste functions for the selected dynamic text. Note that these options apply to both the text itself and the underlying dynamic logic.

Click to open the Dynamic Text wizard and configure dynamic text for the selected text box.

Use the drop-down options to add dynamic text, dynamic placeholders, or text field variables to your selected text box.

Customize the Fill color used by your shape, image, or illustration.

Toggles the selected text box between Graphic Text, which resizes automatically with the text field, and Standard text, which must be resized manually.

The drop-down options also scale the Graphic Text. For example, select 2 from the drop-down to double the size of the text in the selected graphic text box.

Align the grid inside its container. For example, position the Grid at the bottom right of the panel it is contained by.

Customize the layout of the columns in a grid by applying preset formatting options from the Grid Sizing drop-down or by customizing the columns and rows in the Grid Size Setting dialog.

Show or hide the legend for the selected visual.

Change the paragraph styling, including lists, indents, spacing, alignment, text direction, and columns.

Rotate by 45, 90, 180, or 270 degrees, or Reset to original rotation.

Change the scale of the selected visual.

Show or hide the panel that contains your selected visual and the visual's caption. The panel is the frame or border around your visual.

Use More Panel Options on the drop-down to edit the options in the Formatting Panel.

Show or hide a Shadow beneath the shape.

Change the size and position of the selected item:

• Adjust the item size using Width and Height.
• Adjust the item position using X and Y.

Tip: The X and Y coordinates and width and height are displayed underneath each content item when it is selected on the canvas.

For shapes, text boxes, and images only, you can also Rotate the item by multiples of 10 degrees.

Customize the Stroke color (the color of your shape's outline) used by your shape, image, or illustration.

Apply a preset style to selected text. When you build your publication, text using a Heading style is typically included in the table of contents. If your publication is a PDF, the Heading styles also determine the hyperlinks included in the document outline. For more information, see Table of Contents in Present Pro.

Show or hide the subtitles for your selected visual. Note: The subtitle is typically the breadcrumb trail, but can be replaced with a custom value.
