Working with Object Variants

Object variants provide a flexible way of creating and maintaining different variations of a single object.

Similar to versions, variants remain linked to their primary (or parent) object, however unlike versions you can have multiple variants active at any one time. You define the criteria to control which variant is used in each adaptation of the book. For example, variants can use criteria based on location (country, state, or city), product version, supported platform, and so on. You define the criteria that suits your content.
