Arnis Gubins: ... so that the "Invisible Text" is seen in (say) View 6 and set to "Invisible" in View 1 ...

It appears that CV (Color Views) does indeed work for three main elements we need to twiddle in every document:

authoring-only information (Invisible for all publication modes)
masking graphical elements (Cutout for all publication modes)
web nav (Invisible only for print publication)

So the question arises, what standardized Views to use. If a random CV-aware Frameuser took over these documents, what "best practices" might they expect to see?

My inclination is to use:

Web publication
Print publication
<reserved for future use>
<reserved for future use>
<reserved for future use>
Authoring/draft mode

What say ye?

@Error 7103,

Did you get any follow-up on this, maybe offline?

I like the idea of another way to support single-sourcing without having to use conditions for everything.

Best,

Just keep in mind that toggling something to invisible leaves the original space, whereas using a Condition forces FM to reflow the content over the space that the hidden conditional content occupied. This could have a substantial impact on the visual appearance of your documents depending upon the output route required.
