Data Merge is one of InDesign’s most powerful features. It allows you to take any number of records from a database, extract just the information you want, and flow it all into a layout template for output automatically. It’s magical. You can accomplish things in seconds that would take days to do manually. But getting everything set up correctly requires planning and precision. And when things go wrong, it can be difficult to figure out how to fix them. 

That’s why we put together a CreativePro SuperGuide to help you master “the Merge.” It contains ten articles covering everything from basic first steps to advanced methods for controlling color, using QR codes, interpreting error messages, and more. There’s even a template you can use to practice and get comfortable with the process.
