FrameMaker 2017: Conditional text improvements
Conditional text is one of the more useful content reuse features in FrameMaker. And while the feature got a significant overhaul in the last few versions, it also got a nice bump in usability for FrameMaker 2017.
The pod is no longer wide, but redesigned to nicely fit in a vertical format, and the formatting is now shown in near-final form in the dialog itself.
What used to be a confusing series of related pods have now been turned into dialog boxes, showing up in the center of the screen, and disappearing after changes have been made.
Here’s a video I produced, showing the new functionality:
