- In the Version Plan view, click in the Layer (bottom) section, and then from the Versioning menu, select Add Layer.
Tip: You can also right-click the Versions section to open the context menu, which allows you to add layers. - Double-click in the new layer under the Layer column to type the name of the layer. The layer name is limited to 64 characters.
- Under the Layer Type column, select either Base or Change to define the layer type.
- Under the Colors To Extract column, select the cell to open the Select Colors To Extract dialog box.
- In the Select Colors To Extract dialog box, select the colors that are representing the content for this layer.
Alternate workflow: If you are building the version plan before your input files are refined, you can add color names to the list by clicking the Add button, and completing the Add New Colorant dialog box.
Important: The color name in the refined pages must match the color name specified in the Colors to extract column. Color names are case-sensitive. - Under the Output Plate column, select the ink in which the layer content should print.
Select Output Separately if you do not want the colors to be mapped, for example, when a base layer requires CMYK to be extracted, or when you want to output content to a unique separation.
Note: You cannot extract more than one color to the same separation on one version plan layer. - If you want to use automatic linking, see the next section for information on the Page Name Patterns, Page Name Back Reference, and Page Number Back Reference boxes.
- Repeat this procedure for the remaining layers.
