I have a solution with half a dozen layouts. I have the same series of buttons on the top of each page. When I add a new button to one layout I want to add it to all the layouts. Now I have to do that process manually.

In HTML there are includes that make this process simply. Is there a way similar to includes to allow for changing the buttons one place and they are automatically changed in all the layouts?

Thanks,

Rich

Ah! Sorry, a long term feature request (master layout templates).

The only approach that may work is to have the button panel be a global graphic. You'd lay buttons on top of the graphic.

I'm getting in the habit of putting such toolbar buttons in a (disguised) tab control, so that when I do need to make a change, I can copy and paste the whole thing without having to futz with the relative positions of the buttons inside for each layout.

Make sure there is an element in the top lefthand corner so when pasting it is easy to align.

I agree with creating your own template that you can copy-paste. It makes your job much easier, and you can always modify it if you feel you've progressed from the previous level you were at.

I haven't used this technique, but I've heard of creating a global container field with X number of repetitions, and storing your buttons in the single field, just in different repetitions. Then on your layouts you can set the field to show repetitions 1 through x. I believe that's the way it was explained to me, at least.
