Moving Between Property Dialogs

Opus now provides a quick way to move between different levels of properties in your publication without having to close the property dialog. This can be useful for quickly accessing chapter or publication properties in your current publication or even in another publication for reference or to edit them.

A small toolbar is provided at the bottom left of the Property dialog.

It is divided into two sections. The left hand selection allows you to select the Publication Properties, the Chapter Properties or your currently-active Page Properties for the existing publication.

The Up and Down arrows will allow you to move up and down the objects in the Organiser allowing you to move between objects as well as between Page and Publication Properties. The Next and Previous arrows will move you between the next item at that level in the Organiser. This if you are in Publication Properties moving right will take you to the Properties of the Next publication in the Organiser and moving left will take you to the Previous publication.

Moving between publications should be done with great care and attention to avoid inadvertently editing the wrong publication properties.
