Correction Document
A PDF or shockwave file (SWF) which has been created from a page. In Acrobat or Web Proof, you can create different correction marks with the help of the LAGO correction tools. These marks appear automatically in the layout application when reopening the page.
Document
a sequence of InDesign pages, generally setups either single pages or spreads.
Element
One or more articles and associated components are usually (but not always) linked to an element. An element can be thought of like a container for articles (data) and components (text and assets).
Element Layout
The templates for the layouts that contains one or more component template, which can be used LAGO CS or LAGO Explorer. By associating an element layout to an element, data and components can be automatically placed on the page.

Placeholder
Linked text in a catalog/flyer document where data is automatically updated via the LAGO database. The link between placeholder and the data is is persistent and can automatically update text on the InDesign document each time the page is opened. Placeholders are typically indicated in color on the screen (e.g. framed or underlined).
