Stuck trying to delete a date or move a logo in InDesign? It’s not broken—it’s just organized!
In this video, we dive into the two most common reasons why elements in InDesign seem “unclickable.” Whether you’re a print designer or a developer looking at InDesign like an HTML project, understanding these two concepts is key to a smooth workflow.
*What you’ll learn: *
►The “Links” Logic: Why InDesign works like a website (HTML + Image Folders).
►How to Edit Source Files: Finding and updating JPEGs via Photoshop (PSD).
►Parent/Master Pages: Why some elements only exist on the “Parent” layer and how to update them globally.
