This bundle includes several sample actions to be used as artwork actions. The actions are run from an artwork item on an editing panel via its context menu. A single artwork item must be selected or displayed.
All actions in the bundle are marked as Hidden. This stops them from being displayed in action menus. It also has the side effect of hiding them in Preferences - Shortcuts. If you want to asign a keyboard shortcut to one of these actions, uncheck the Hidden column in the Action Manager.
It is unlikely that you want to use all of these samples. If you want to hide any of these actions from the artwork item context menu, change the association column in the Action Manager from A (Artwork) to . (None).
If you do not want to be pestered with action update alerts, you should duplicate an action before renaming or modifying it.
