Using the Gallery
The Gallery tab serves as a container for storing your own design objects you'd
like to reuse in different publications. It also includes sample designs and is
stocked with a wide variety of pre-designed elements that you can customize
and use as a starting point for your own designs. Once you've copied a design to
the Gallery, it becomes available in any publication—simply open the Gallery!
