Before You Begin

Editing Multi-Selected Views (Properties)

You can modify the properties of a group of views of different kinds (interactive, generative or detail views), either on a single sheet or on different sheets. These modifications will be applied to the properties values common to the selected views.

In other words, when you will edit the properties values of different views, only the properties values of the views with the same parameters will be modifiable.

Still, mixed properties values will be modifiable. Mixed properties values meaning values which are not common to the selected views.

You can select the views from different sheets.
