Normally only one page design is used in a Blippa account.  
However, there are scenarios where you would like to apply different designs, like for different brands etc.

You can do this in three ways:

1: **In the Object-Page design-Override Page Design for this object**.. This only affects that specific object

2: **In Template-Page design-Override Page Design for this object..** This will affect all objects created from the template.  
Please note that the page design is _copied_ from the template to the object at the time of creation. _The design is not linked._.  
So, in order to update a design on 10.000 objects, you will need to select all objects and then apply the updated template (design)…  
Not a good practice…

**3: Using multiple page designs (=Best Practise)  
This is the “proper way” to use different page designs**

- In Labelsadmin-Design-Page Design enable “Multiple designs”.
- Create one or more additional designs.  
Note: The design that is default will be used if no rule is matched.
- Either create a variable called something like “brand” or make sure the brand value is already in a data source that you are using.
- Create a rule for each design (by selecting the rule button in the list of page designs).
- Set the rule to trigger if the variable value is something like “brand 1”, “brand 2” etc.
- In your template-Page design, select “According to style rules”. (This creates a “live link” that makes all objects show the current page design version).

**In the template:**

**Several page designs with individual rules:**
