Once you have completed the steps your client will be set up with a tagged format based on the LTD master. If you have previously set up custom layouts for that client you will need to add those layouts back into the client.
Any custom formats will need to be manually tagged. For layout changes that will affect a number of clients we recommend that you make the adjustments & tag within the master LTD layout
