Plan your pages with the flatplan

Step 1

Place content from the pool

Open Flatplan. Choose Articles, Images, or Ads in the content pool and drag an item onto a page. For a story that continues across pages, drag the same article onto another page. Use placeholders when you are still waiting for the content.

A placeholder is a planning note. Add the real article, image, or ad when it is ready.

Step 2

Give each item enough room

Move a block by dragging it. Pull its corner to resize it, or double-click it to edit its details. Switch from the overview to the spread view in the bottom bar when you want to work on two facing pages.

Step 3

Check the plan and export it

Look through the issue in page order. Check that every story has space and that ads are where you want them. Open Export, select Flatplan and PDF, then click Export to download the plan for review.
