You have successfully created a versioned job that uses the black plates to manage the versioned data. At the last minute, your customer calls with a new correction—the image on the first page of each versioned brochure is to be different. You are now required to edit the job to allow the first page of each version to be handled as an independent versioned page.

Note: You must complete Scenario One before completing the following tasks.
If you have a Layered PDF Versioning job in which some pages cannot use the same color extractions as the rest of the job, you can use color extraction override to output those pages within the same versioning job.

For example, consider a job in which the bulk of the pages requires only a black plate change between versions, but one signature requires a 4-color change. You can set up those pages for a 4-color change within the same job—essentially using a different version plan for those pages.
