Embedded Pages: Creating, editing and previewing
Replacing an image, cel animation or a clip on a page
A page’s image, cel animation or clip assets can be replaced in Xnews only if the asset’s
A
LLOW E DITS property was enabled on the template in Xstudio. When the asset is added to
template in Xstudio, the author can specify whether or not the asset can be edited/replaced
by setting the asset’s A
LLOW E DITS property (figure 5-3 ). Assigning a T RUE value to this
setting allows Xnews users to change the asset in Xnews. However, a F ALSE value prevents
the asset from being replaced on a page in Xnews. This editorial restriction ensures that all
of the pages that are created from the template have a consistent look and feel.

“Creating templates in Xstudio” on page 4-2 for more information.

“Creating and using Work Orders” on page 3-23 for more information.

likely set not allow Xnews users to edit or replace the asset on the page.
