Creating a Project from a Template

1. When you first open Flare, you will see the Start Page in the middle of the interface. On the Start Page, click New Project. The Start New Project Wizard opens. This is where you can specify basic settings for your project.

   

2. In the Project name field, name your project San Diego.

3. (Optional) In the Project folder field, you can enter a location where you want to save your project. By default, projects are saved in your Documents > My Projects folder.

   

4. Click Next.

   The next screen in the wizard allows you to select the kind of project you want to create: a template, a new project based on an existing project, or an imported project. We are going to create a project using an existing template.

5. Under Factory Templates, expand the Tutorials folder. Select the San Diego template.

   

6. Click Next.

   The next screen in the wizard allows you to select the primary target or for your project. A target is a single instance of an output type, such as a PDF document or an HTML5 online Help system. The primary target will generate by default when you build output from Flare.

   

7. We only have one target set up right now (we'll add more later), so go ahead and click Finish.

   The San Diego project is created and loaded into Flare.
