Special Sheets

Special sheets consist of cover pages, tab sheets, slip sheets, and TOCs. You can insert special sheets to aid navigation through a submission. Special sheets can be inserted individually or in bulk where they are needed in the assembly.

Special sheets settings control the properties of the paper on which the sheets are to be printed, and the text or content. Special sheets and their attributes are linked to the publishing settings for an assembly. The publishing settings control the printer, and therefore the paper types, that are available for printing special sheets.

You can insert special sheets for any of the following:
  • Assembly
  • Folders
  • Leaf elements
  • Documents
  • Volumes

When you insert a special sheet for an element (for example, a folder), the sheet is inserted for all children of the element that meet the criteria of the chosen element type.

When adding special sheets in bulk, any leaf marked as a native file leaf or reference leaf is ignored. Special sheets cannot be added to native file leaf elements or reference leaf elements, and are ignored during publishing.

After inserting special sheets, click Volume to refresh the Volume Special Sheets pane and display the inserted special sheets.
