Enter the info for the element definition. This is a short description of the element to help you remember how the element definition was set up. The information you
provide here helps you remember, at a glance, which specific settings you have placed in the element definition. This is especially helpful if you have created
multiple similar element definitions with only slight differences in the actions from each other.
4.
Select or deselect the actions you would like to allow the contributor to have for the selected element definition.
If you are creating a custom element, the process is different. In each case, the main focus of the editing is to select which objects are available to the
contributors on the toolbars. Each element you define has its own toolbar, and what appears on the toolbar for example, toolbar buttons allowing changes to font size, font
style, paragraph formatting, and so forth is defined when you select or clear the checkboxes in the actions list of an element definition.
It is recommended that you have multiple definitions of each type, to allow for different toolbars that the users can have in different instances. For specific
information on the actions available to modify in each element definition, see the specific screen listed above.
