Creating a copy of an existing topic

Last Updated : Jun 07, 2017 |

About this task

Make a copy of an existing topic only if you want to model the content on the existing content. To add the same content, add IDs to the elements such as paragraph, steps, lists items in existing topic and reuse in the new topic.

Procedure

  1. On the Publication Manager menu bar, click Tools > Browse Repository.

    The Browse Repository window is displayed.

  2. In the navigation pane, browse to project folder and subfolder, and select the topics folder and the topic that you want to copy.
  3. Do one of the following:

    • On the toolbar of the right pane, click Duplicate Object Icon

    • Right-click, and click Duplicate Duplicate Object Icon.

  4. Change the title of the topic.
  5. Complete the fields on each tab as appropriate.

    You are required to complete the Product Family, Product, and Doc Lead fields on the Avaya-specific fields tab. Make sure you complete these fields as appropriate for your project because the Product Family and Product fields are used in searches within the SDL repository and can be used in the future to categorize our content.

  6. Click OK.
