‘Save as’ feature

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

While Joerg is on his way to show off our brilliant software in London, I’ve been working on some flatplans for clients. I’ve been using the new ’save’ as function a whole lot - what a stroke of genius. (I can say that myself, because I didn’t think of it.)

You can base your new flatplan on any previous one stored on Blinkplan, and you can choose between keeping just the page structure (eg, three ads followed by an editorial page etc etc) or you can keep all the previous content. The latter option is particularly cool for mags that have a lot of regular pages. You just edit the few that need to change.

Love it!

Production tracking using Blinkplan

A user from Ireland sent us a great idea, which we’re sure many of you will be able to use:

“I’ve made five different editorial page categories, all in different colours. I use these colours to track our progress – for example, blue pages have been sent to print, and green ones have still to be designed.”
