Developing an Automation Mindset

Can you imagine an InDesign document that formats itself, responds to changing content, or completes complex production tasks with little or no intervention?

At first glance, automation can feel like magic. This session reveals the rules, patterns, and problem-solving that make it possible. You’ll see how the right mindset can turn familiar InDesign features into fully automated workflows. Learn to recognize automation opportunities in your own work and start thinking in terms of rules rather than repetition. No programming experience is required.

Key takeaways:

• Recognize repetitive decisions that can become automated rules
• See how simple tools can lead to powerful automated systems
• Distinguish working faster from removing repetitive work entirely
• Explore possibilities beyond built-in InDesign features
• Apply an automation mindset to everyday production challenges
