Use the Job Jacket pane of the Preferences dialog box (QuarkXPress/Edit menu) to specify preferences for automatic layout evaluation and to indicate a default location for Job Jackets files.

Use the options in the Layout Evaluation area to control when QuarkXPress automatically executes the File > Evaluate Layout command. For example, by checking On Output, you can make sure that you always evaluate a layout before you send it to output. The options are:

• At Open
• At Save
• At Output
• At Close

Use the options in the Location area to specify where Job Jackets files are stored by default. To save Job Jackets files in the default location, click Use Default Path for Shared Jackets. The default location is the “Documents” folder on Mac OS and the “My Documents” folder on Windows.
