Phrase & Data Library User Interface: Viewing Master Datasheets

You can view master datasheets in Phrase & Data Library  > Master Datasheet.

Master datasheets are an easy way to organize, store, find, and reuse content in packaging artwork projects. While project datasheets contain content tied to a specific project, master datasheets provide a central location to manage, edit, and organize content independent of projects. This allows you to reuse approved content in a master datasheet for multiple projects. You can also quickly create a project from a row or rows of data in a master datasheet.
