Create elements

Create document elements to enhance the document structure according to your requirements.

To create elements, you can use the Outline and Element panes of the Content editor, or the Create… shortcut in the toolbar. In all cases, you have the following options:

  • Select the element from a list of favorite elements.

  • Crete a subelement (children) for the selected element.

  • Create an element on the same level (sibling) for the selected element.

Note: The document structure determines if the children and sibling options are available. For example, if the selected elements do not have child elements, the children option is not available.

Using the Element pane
