You may want to personalize the way the layers replacement with drag and drop works on the Editions main tab.

The choices are:

•Ask: Fred prompts you if you want to replace or add a dragged layer.

•Replace: Fred replaces the destination layer with the dragged one.

•Add: Fred adds the dragged layer.

Default behavior: Ask.

Note

The layers match is based on the layer type. If your pages have only one layer of each type, you may safely choose Replace. But if you typically have more than one editorial layer, then it is better to choose Add or Ask - otherwise it may happen that Fred replaces the unwanted layer.

To configure the layers drag and drop

1.On the Edit menu of the Editions main tab, click Preferences.

2.Under On matching layers drop, select what you want.

About saving preferences in database

When you click OK, the preferences are updated in the memory and applied right-on. GN4 will store the preference in the database when you exit application. Anyway, should your GN4 crash or exit in any other abnormal way, the preference will not be stored in database, and you will have to repeat the previously described steps.

This preference is stored in the Editorial_SystemUserConfig for the securityRef corresponding to the user name. To display that configuration, open EdAdmin4, click Client Applications, expand the search pane in the left sidebar, in the Name enter editorial, and in the securityRef select the name of the user. Double-click the Editorial_SystemUserConfig to open the content. Locate the preference by name.
