Article Templates, Layout Geometries and Adobe Libraries – What are the differences?
Article Template:
Lets reporter write to fit before pages are built
Saves geometry (style sheets and depth) in database
Can be applied to an article from property panel or via user preference

4. Can be assigned to both pages and story packages
Article Templates, Layout Geometries and Adobe Libraries – What are the differences?
Layout Geometry:
Full-page layout (or partial pages) saved in NCS database with proper styling
Can be assigned to both pages and story packages
Allows editor to assign and build a page layout without ever opening InDesign
Stories can be “assigned” to slots on the layout geometry allowing reporters to “write to fit”

5. Article Templates, Layout Geometries and Adobe Libraries – What are the differences?
InDesign Library:
Standard InDesign functionality (indl files) that save full layouts or pieces of layouts with proper NCS styling
Easy to drop on a page
Uses standard “link article to template” function so any article assigned to a page adopts the geometry and styling of the library shape
