Creating a linked document

  Previous topic Next topic JavaScript is required for the print function Mail us feedback on this topic! Mail us feedback on this topic!  

A linked document is a "stub" or "shortcut" of some existing document. It allows you to place a single document to multiple places in the content tree instead of creating its copies. Such a document is then displayed in the given part of the website, but when you edit it, you actually update the original document.

 

This feature is useful if you need to include a document (product) in multiple site sections (product categories), but keep only one instance of the document.

 

In order to create a linked document, click New and choose Link an existing document in the bottom of the screen:

 

devguide_clip0313

Then, choose the document that should be linked to the current location:

 

devguide_clip0314

 

Click Save to save the new link. The link to the document will appear with an arrow in the content tree:

 

devguide_clip0315

 

You can see the list of all linked documents for the currently selected document in the Properties -> Linked docs dialog.
