Finding Placeholder Records

You can easily locate all of the placeholders that you created so that you can keep track of which placeholders you have created, update one or more placeholders from the source file, or delete them if they are no longer needed.

 

To find all Placeholder records:

  1. From the Catalog menu, choose “Find Placeholder Records.”

    A new Gallery will be opened, and all the Placeholder records will be displayed.

     

    You can update the Placeholder with information from the source file when the source file is available.

     

To replace a Placeholder Record information from with the source file:

  1. In the Gallery, select the Placeholder Records that you want to replace with an actual item.

    To locate all of the Placeholder Records in the Catalog, choose Catalog > Find Placeholder Records.

  2. Choose “Update Items” from the Catalog menu, or press Command+U (Mac OS) or Ctrl+U (Windows).

    When the catalog is updated, Portfolio will search for the source file in the location specified when the Placeholder Record was created. If no location was specified, you will be asked to locate the source file.
