Working with Document Templates

Disc Cover comes with a collection of templates. They are complete designs which are grouped into categories (Music, Photo, etc.). To access templates, open the Assistant via the File > New from Assistant menu. A template includes several elements (disc label, booklet and other) that are designed in the same style. You can choose a template by theme, and then insert your information and images.

Apart from templates containing ready-made graphic designs, there is a Blank category. Templates in
this category contain sets of blank design elements and can be used if you wish to create a design
from scratch.

How to choose a template and then edit it is described in the Quick Start Guide section.

You may also create templates of your own and use them as the base for future documents. To save your document as a template, choose the Save as Template... command from the File menu. The program will offer you to save the template in the My Templates folder (~(Your Home)/Library/Application Support/BeLight Software/Disc Cover/My Templates). If you save your templates in this default folder, they will appear later in the My Templates category of the Assistant.
Of course, you may save templates in another folder. To access them from the Assistant, choose the Custom Folder category there and navigate to the folder with your templates.

When you open a template via the Assistant, the program protects it from to be occasionally overwritten.
