Ideas for Arc XP

Add new custom formatting options, e.g. for interviews

As Arc-PO in our organization I want our editors to be able to work fast and with safe formatting of their stories. In the case of interviews we don't have the option of using styles in the Composer - an editor has to manually chose a format like bold or italic to style questions, answers and names. This is highly risky, because each editor can choose a different setup of stylings.

Solution: Please add more styles in the dropdown menu with the several headings or - even better - allow us to configure more styles of our liking.

    Hi Caytlyn, thanks for the input! You mean, I'd create a template with prefilled placeholder questions and answers? This would improve things, but not really solve all of my problems. The send-to-print-workflow for example would benefit from separat sheets, for our print cms only then can recognize questions and answers and style them correctly.

    Hi Killian! Have you tried leveraging templates for something to this effect? You could set up an interview template with the different stylings in the body that could lay out the format for an interview in more consistent way.
