"Generate Bleed by Levels of Importance"

If an image is printed on a cardboard box, a bleed should be defined for typographic reasons.

You can add a bleed line to a 1up in this mode. In this context, you define areas of different levels of importance to be able to solve clip path conflicts automatically when creating a layout.

1.Click the "Generate Bleed by Levels of Importance" button.

Note: If conflict resolutions are applied to an already existing trim, this trim is locked. For this reason, a warning is issued saying that the previous trim is locked. You have the option of unlocking it.
