Once paginated DTP pages have been saved back to STEP, the pages can be both inspected and updated within the workbench from the Page Inspector and the AutoPage Publication Planner tabs. Both single and multi-version publications can be actioned from these locations.
Page Inspector
From the Page Inspector, actual pages can be viewed and edited from within the workbench. Mounted objects can be repositioned, remounted, and reflowed on a page; content can be updated; documents can be opened directly in InDesign; layouts can be locked; pages can be sent to the printer; and more.
For high-level information on the Page Inspector and its interface, refer to the Page Inspector topic here.
For information on how to view markers for product borders, measurements, oversets, layout source, and update needed, refer to Viewing Markers and Overset Text here.
For information on how to reposition objects on pages and manually set object justification, refer to Repositioning Objects in the Page Inspector here.
