A. Source file template B. User defines layers as variables. C. Different versions of the image can be created, each with a different variable
data set.
Define variables
You use variables to define which elements in a template change. You can define three types of variables. Visibility
variables show or hide the content of a layer. Pixel Replacement variables replace the pixels in the layer with pixels
from another image file. Text Replacement variables replace a string of text in a type layer.
Note: GoLive recognizes all text and visibility variables, but not Pixel Replacement variables.
