Hi,
Can anybody please let me know what are the sheets in the document explorer window? How to manage these sheets in the Shapesheet?

Hi Nilani,

Every shape has a ShapeSheet behind it which holds definitions for size, position, geometry, shape data fields etc. Pages and the document itself also have a ShapeSheet. When you see "Sheet" in the Document Explorer, that is just the internal name for a shape. Ie: the first rectangle you draw on a page is Sheet.1. The numbers increase as you create more shapes on a page.
