Collaborating on Macro Pages
If you want to work on macro pages together with other users, you must make sure that you
exchange all the added and required content.
For this, HALion allows you to export the macro page together with its resources.

Cleaning Up and Consolidating Your Macro Pages
Before finalizing your macro pages, you may want to remove any unused files, or consolidate
names and locations of the resource files used in the macro page. HALion offers you several
tools for cleaning up the macro page content.
Removing Unused Files
When you create your macro pages, you will most probably try out different templates
from various libraries. You will add various bitmaps that you want to try out as background
images, etc. Every time that you add an element or a template to the macro page, the
templates and resources are automatically added to the Templates Tree and the Resources
Tree. All these will remain in your macro page file, even if they are not used on the macro
page. Therefore, the Macro Page Designer allows you to automatically remove any unused
template or resource files from the macro page.
•
To remove unused templates, open the Templates Tree context menu and select
Remove Unused Templates.
The Macro Page Designer verifies whether the existing templates are referenced by
elements on the macro page or by templates that are used on the macro page. The
templates that are not used are moved to the Trash folder in the Templates Tree,
where you can delete them.
•
To remove unused resources, open the Resources Tree context menu and select
Remove Unused Resources.
The Macro Page Designer verifies whether the existing resources are referenced by
any controls on the macro page or by a template. The resources that are not used are
moved to the Trash folder in the Resources Tree, where you can delete them.
