Creating colourways in the Design Window is quick and easy, using the colourway tools in the Layers Palette.
Adding a new colourway to the design
The main colourway controls are found at the top of the Layers Palette as sown opposite. Click the small + button to add a colourway to your design. The active colourway will be duplicated, and the number will update to reflect the additional colourway. So, if your design only has one colourway, and you press the + button, the number will update to 2. Pressing + will always duplicate the active colourway.
