1PrefaceThe release of Smart Connection version 6 alsointroduces a new client application to the SmartConnection family of products: Content Station.Historically, this would mean that the User Guide for SmartConnection Enterprise would be expanded with chapterscovering the functionality of this new application. Wehave decided however to turn a different direction and torelease separate User Guides for each client application.This means that Smart Connection version 6 comes withthe following documentation:Smart Connection User Guide for InDesignSmart Connection User Guide for InCopyContent Station User Guide (covering both thePro Edition and Basic Edition)In addition to these User Guides, an Admin Guideis available for administrators who need to installand configure Smart Connection for all mentionedapplications.For you as an end user, the benefits will be obvious: youwill not be confronted with information that is not relatedto the application you are using and the document willcontain less pages, thereby making it easier to handle.Other important revisions are related to the presentationof text, tables and sections of code. Where the optionsor interface of Smart Connection version 6 differs significantlyfrom previous versions, this is pointed out aswell.New to the version 6 documentation is a Quick Start, whichprovides a quick introduction to the Smart Connectionsystem and points out the features that you are most likelyto use on a daily basis. The Quick Start will give you anbasic insight into how the system works, without havingto read through the whole User Guide first.This Smart Connection User Guide for InDesign is mainlyaimed at first-time users of the system. Users who havealready been working with previous versions are encouragedto review chapter 2, About Smart Connection, andchapter 3, The Concept for an important overview of thenew changes and additions.InDesign users are expected to be proficient in usingInDesign, and to have a basic knowledge of editorialprocedures.xii
