Storyboard

See your book take visual shape, page by page.

The storyboard is where your structured content becomes visual pages. ADT Studio rebuilds the book's design β€” accessibly β€” aiming to match the visual identity of the original while meeting accessibility standards.

Think of it as the layout table of your digital book: you see how each section is composed, how text and figures sit together, and how the book will feel to a reader.

What ADT Studio does here

The tool generates the visual presentation from your sectioned content, using AI-assisted visual refinement to check that pages render correctly. The goal is a design that respects the original book without inheriting its accessibility problems.

Your role in this step

Review the pages, section by section, and adjust where needed. Each section shows a live preview of exactly how it will render β€” the same HTML and styling your readers will see, not a mockup.

Select Edit to make text edits directly in place. For styling, a toolbar offers clickable options for things like font size, weight, alignment, spacing, borders, and color β€” you rarely need to touch code. If you want finer control, a HTML view is also available, showing the section's underlying markup for direct editing.

Other things you can do per section:

  • Add Image, generate one with AI Image, replace an existing one from elsewhere in the book, crop it, or adjust how it was segmented.
  • Exclude a section from the output (without deleting it), merge it with the section or page before/after, duplicate, or delete.
  • Ask AI to edit β€” describe a change in plain language and let the AI apply it, with a history of past AI edits you can review.

Bird's-eye view

Switch to Overview for the same page/section/type table used in Sectioning, to check the whole book at a glance instead of section by section.

Things worth checking:

  • Do the pages read in the right order?
  • Are figures placed with the content they belong to?
  • Does the visual hierarchy (titles, subtitles, body text) look right?
  • Is anything overlapping, cut off, or oddly placed?

When you're done

With structure and layout in place, it is time to check the result before enhancing it: Validate and preview.
