Content first
Workflow for editors
-
Keep using your trusted online editor
Do you want to publish your online story in print? You can use the simple tohoop plug-in to create a print version and assign a sample layout. This means you can adjust your texts to make sure they meet the print layout specifications. Online-specific content is automatically ignored.
-
Collaborate with ease
You and your colleagues can use drag and drop or the search function to insert a text in the print layout – either in a document opened in InDesign or via the web interface of the tohoop page planner.
-
Synchronize changes
You can adjust your texts directly in the CMS editor. tohoop ensures that your changes also match the print layout. And the best thing about it is that the texts already placed in the document will be automatically updated and layout adjustments made in InDesign will be retained!
Layout first
Workflow for layouters
-
Create publications
Start your work in the tohoop planner. This is where you can create your print publications via the web interface.
-
Plan with structure
If necessary, you can assign topics or sections to your pages. Your team will be able to view the current status at any time in the browser.
-
Create templates and add content
You can accelerate the layout work for your pages by using templates that you have previously created in InDesign. You can conveniently transfer and add content from the CMS. You can then refine the layout by opening each page in your local InDesign via the web interface.
-
Stay flexible and free
Too complicated? Then just start with an empty InDesign document and use the integrated search function to retrieve your content straight from the CMS.
