Adding or Changing a Release State's Color

With Author-it, you can customize the colors assigned to a Release State. The Object Color is used internally by Author-it, displaying in the Library Explorer and Editor, while the Review Color is used indicate content that needs reviewing when your document is published to Word.

Important: Be sure review colors are not added to any states that you apply to your released content.

To Add or Change Release State Colors:

1. Start the Author-it Administrator program, then choose Security > Release States... from the main menu. The Release State Permissions window opens.
2. Select the user or group whose Release State Colors you want to change.
3. Select the Release State you want to change:
   • To change the Object Color, right-click and choose Set Object Color from the pop-up menu, or click the Object Color box on the right of the screen.
   • To change the Review Color, click the Review Color box on the right of the screen.

     The standard Windows color-picker window appears.
