• Cross-references
-Use a paragraph, anchor or index mark as a cross-reference’s target
-Phrase cross-reference text as you wish, including subfields that automatically describe targets, e.g. their page
-Save cross-reference phrasings as presets for reuse in multiple documents
-Limit quoted text by number of words or occurrence of a character
-Automatically hyperlink cross-references to their targets when exporting interactive PDFs
• Define custom text variables as fields – this allows you to add new fields and assign whatever value to them you wish
• Option + click new layer now adds all items in your current selection to that new layer
• ‘Hide effects’ and ‘greyscale’ view mode options – you can toggle-on these new view modes using the buttons next to the View Mode options in the navigator
