Prerequisites
This documentation section assumes that users have a basic understanding of the MDM platform (STEP) and a working knowledge of InDesign. Instructions on how to use InDesign itself are outside the scope of this documentation, except where required to explain how InDesign's standard functionality interacts with the InDesign plugin. This documentation also assumes an understanding of Asset Pushes. For more information, refer to the Asset Push topic in the Digital Assets documentation here.
