APub Book

So, how does the Publisher Book work?

What happens if there's a conflict between chapters in document-setup, master-page or styles?
Is TOC accross chapters bug-free?

Hey @GeirSol,

If you haven't seen it already, the books video tutorial gives a good overview of how the feature works.

Within the books panel, you can assign one of the chapters as your style source chapter to help resolve conflicts between styles, master pages etc. i've linked the relevant help guides below, the first of which covers synchronising chapters and how it works in detail.

There is an outstanding issue where it's possible for the app to crash after short while after updating the TOC from Document to Book-wide scope and then updating the TOC, but i've not been able to replicate it in the latest 2.1 build, so it may have been resolved.
