Join Bob Levine for an in-depth discussion in this video Previewing your work, part of InDesign: Multistate Objects.
- While you're working, it's a good idea…to check that interactivity's functioning properly.…There are some built-in tools that are installed along…with InDesign that make this easy.…Now, you're gonna be either going to EPUB or DPS,…and we've got two specific tools for that.…For DPS, you're going to wanna open up…either the Folio Overlays panel or the Folio Builder panel.…They both have a preview function…at the bottom of the panel.…We'll just use the Folio Overlays panel for this.…
I'll click on preview and then preview on desktop.…That's gonna launch the Adobe Content Viewer.…There you can see our file;…it's a pretty good preview of what's on the page.…I'll just pull this out of the way,…so you can see that it is pretty much the same thing.…I'm gonna go ahead and close the Content Viewer now,…and I'm gonna just tuck this Folio Overlays panel back in.…Now for EPUB, we've got a separate panel.…For that I've got to go up to my Window menu…and click on interactive and then open up…the aptly named EPUB Interactivity Preview panel.…
