You can create an object on a current page layer, by using tools on the toolbox or library objects, by menu commands, by keyboard shortcuts, by copy and paste or by duplicate existing objects applying a specified spacing.

You can modify the size and position of any unlocked object with the mouse, with palettes using numerical values, or from scripts - with possibilities like splitting an area into a given number of text frames with a specific gutter.

Objects can be placed anywhere on a layer, including a pasteboard.

This chapter describes how to show and hide page objects, review or change creation order, use placeholders to design pages, redefine placeholders and work with nonprinting objects.

Moreover, it explains permissions related to editing.
