To create a nested template, a new document based on the template was created and then saved as a template and
named
TrioNested
. In the nested template, two editable regions have been added in the editable region named
Body
.
When you add a new editable region in an editable region passed through to the nested template, the highlighting
color of the editable region changes to orange. Content you add outside the editable region, such as the graphic in
the
editableColumn
, is no longer editable in documents based on the nested template. The blue highlighted
editable areas, whether added in the nested template or passed through from the base template, remain editable in
documents that are based on the nested template. Template regions that do not contain an editable region pass
through to template-based documents as editable regions.
Create a nested template
Nested templates let you create variations of a base template. You can nest multiple templates to define increasingly
specific layouts.
By default, all editable template regions from the base template pass through the nested template to the document
based on the nested template. That means that if you create an editable region in a base template, then create a nested
template, the editable region appears in documents based on the nested template (if you did not insert any new
template regions in that region in the nested template).
