Copying Smart Objects


    If you copy a Smart Object to a different location, the copy references the same source file, but you must create a new, unique target file. With unique target files, you can independently resize and optimize several Smart Objects created from one source file.

    Note: If a Smart Object doesn't have a unique target file, GoLive displays a warning icon warning icon in the upper-left corner of the image.

  1. In the Layout Editor, select the Smart Object.
  2. In the Basic tab of the Image Inspector, click the folder icon Inspector's Browse button to the right of the Target text box.
  3. TipTo create new target files throughout a site, right-click the Smart Object and choose Source Link > Open All Smart Object Pages.
