Template Tab
The Template tab enables you to set preferences for the authoring of templates.
Show Mergefield errors when updating templates: When this option is deselected, any merge fields that generate errors while saving or updating a template are suppressed. Normally you would want to have this option selected so that the template designer is made aware of any merge field errors that occur when saving to the template.
Store Template/ Clause Content as Text: When this option is checked, the content of the template or clause will be updated to the Text Content field in the template record when you check-in a template or create a new one. This option should be selected, as the text that is displayed when you click the link for a template in Playbook comes from Text Content for that template record.
Default Image Size: This sets the default Height and Width for images placed in templates via RTF fields.
Version Tab
The version tab enables you to capture preferences while saving agreement versions.
Use enhanced redlining capability: Select this if you want the Author to use enhanced redlining. Normally when you select a block of text and replace it with text pasted in from the clause library, the previous selection is marked as a deletion and the text pasted in as an insertion even though only a few words might have changed. Enhanced redlining is a feature that redlines what actually changed instead of marking all of the old text as a deletion and all of the new text as an insertion.
