You can store frequently repeated jobs or press-run layouts as a reusable template resource.
Templates
folder.tpl
file extension. Avoid using special characters, particularly if you might open this file on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows..tpl
file extension. The name can contain spaces, but cannot contain any special characters, such as \ | : " " ? < > /Templates
folder. The new resource appears in the Templates list in the Layouts pane.Note: When you apply a template resource to a job, the layouts are added to the JOB file, and the original template is no longer referenced. If you separately edit and resave the template that you used for this job, the changes are not automatically applied when you reopen the job. To apply the changes, you must reapply the template.
If you later rename a template file, the result is either two identical files with different names, or one file with two different names: one that you can see (external name), and one that Preps uses (internal name). The results depend on whether you rename the template from within Preps or outside of Preps.
