I hate to correct Carla in public, but this
is a big one if you’re working with conditional text. (Sorry, Carla!) It’s not always the best practice to
use an “import from” file to reset the show/hide settings of
conditional text in a book. All that does change the show/hide features for the
conditions that are contained in the import from file. It does absolutely
nothing to the conditions that are not in the import from file (say someone
added new ones…), so you could wind up having text showing when it
shouldn’t be. Always set conditional text in your books at the book level
by selecting all files in the book and then choosing View > Show/Hide
Conditional Text. That will get you the same results 100% of the time where the
import from file may not. The import from file is good for importing
conditions that don’t already exist in your files. Donna Our
process includes creating an "Import From" file that holds the master
variable and conditional text show/hide settings for each book. You
should always show all conditions when working on a file to make sure you don't
inadvertently mess up conditional text. All you need to do to reset the
conditions is to import them from the Import >From file.
