How to Import Select Color Swatches From an InDesign File

See how easy it is to import only a selection of color swatches into an InDesign document from another document.

In this InDesign how-to video, Bart Van de Wiele shows how to easily pull individual color swatches from one file into another file. There are many ways to bring in swatches, but they often bring in every swatch from a file, or a host of unnecessary items. Bart demos bringing in select swatches only by treating the source file as a color library.

This comes from Bart’s “10 Essential InDesign Productivity Tips” session at CreativePro Week 2021.
