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:

  1. Web publication
  2. Print publication
  3. <reserved for future use>
  4. <reserved for future use>
  5. <reserved for future use>
  6. Authoring/draft mode

What say ye?

    Yes, you expalined it very well for CV. Can it also be worked for posting images cut outs on the website elementor?

    @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.

    @Arnis Gubins,

    Thanks! That one fact might sway my decision.
