This task describes how to configure LC Preview to use your custom LiveContent styles.

Before you begin

You must have completed Installing SDL Contenta S1000D on a Contenta Web Server. You must have created custom styles for LiveContent.

About this task

When you install SDL Contenta S1000D, default styles for LC Preview are installed to a specific location on the Contenta Web server. If you want LC Preview to use styles that you have customized, you must configure LC Preview to access your custom styles.

    Contenta_home/web/cw_common/custom/S1000D_CVPreview/styles
  2. In the existing styles folder, create a new folder for your custom styles.
  3. Copy the default LC Preview styles from the Contenta_home/web/cw_common/custom/S1000D_CVPreview/styles/s1000d folder to the new folder that you just created.
  4. Copy your custom style files into the new folder, overwriting the default style files as desired.
  5. In Contenta Explorer, click Tools > Options > Tool Preferences to access AppData.
  6. In AppData, navigate to {Global} > Settings > CaS_LCPreview.
  7. Change the stylesFolder setting from s1000d to the name of the new folder that contains your custom styles.
