Arranging Pages and Layers in the Advanced Book Editor
Designing multi-page guidebooks with pictures, recipes, and buttons goes much faster when you use Enchiridion's layout and page-management tools instead of placing every element manually one at a time.
Aligning Elements and Managing Layers
When a single page contains overlapping images, text, and item icons, use the editor's positioning controls to keep your layout clean:
1. Turn on the editor's grid to help align and space items evenly across each page.
2. Click and drag individual elements to reposition them, or hold CTRL and click multiple items to select and move several elements at once.
3. Lock finished layers so you do not accidentally shift background art while adjusting foreground items.
4. Make specific layers invisible temporarily whenever you need an unobstructed view of elements underneath.
Reordering Pages and Copying Layouts
As your guidebook expands, you do not have to rebuild repeating page designs from scratch:
- Using the Timeline: Access the timeline feature in the editor to add brand-new pages to your book or move existing pages into a different order.
- Copying Across Pages and Books: Copy elements or completed layouts from one page and paste them onto another page. You can even copy features from one book and paste them directly into a completely different custom book to keep your formatting consistent.
