Naming and formatting layout tabs

Each layout in a multi-layout document has its own tab, similar to the tabs used for spreadsheets in a Microsoft Excel workbook. For an introduction to layouts and multi-layout documents, see About multi-layout documents.

Users can use the tabs to switch between layouts. The tabs are also used as bookmarks in PDF view.

A designer can rename the tabs and can format the background color of a tab.
