Create a Folio for your iPad article
Three Tutorials that go over how to add a Folio and article.
I have summarized the steps below.
- An article is one Indesign document with several interactive pages.
- Each student is creating an article
- A Folio is the "Magazine" that contains many articles.
- to upload your article to the Folio Producer, you must first create your own Folio.
iInstructions are below.
