Duplicating/Copying, Mirroring, Moving Content
Duplicating/copying, mirroring, and moving content/templates are all very useful features of the T4 system to help make changes and updates easier.
Duplicate or Copy Content
When duplicating content a copy of the content is added to in another area of your website. A change to the original content has no effect on the other's content.
To begin, select Duplicate from the drop-down menu and this popup screen appear to select a destination location:
From this popup window, you can see the Site Structure. Select the destination for the duplicated content. The selection is highlighted, and in the lower left corner the destination section is shown by "Duplicate to:". After locating the destination, click your selection.
Mirror Content
Unlike duplicating content, mirroring ensures that when the original content is updated, the changes are also reflected in the mirrored content. When you duplicate content – a change made in the original has no effect on the duplicate.
This feature is useful for content that is shared between multiple pages. Examples are office opening hours, contact details, or event information, or any information which users may want to share across functional units or departments.
To begin, select Mirror from the Content drop-down menu and this popup screen appears to select a destination location:
From this window, you can see the Site Structure. Select the destination for the content. The selection is highlighted, and in the lower left corner the destination section is shown by "Mirror to:". After locating the destination, click your selection. The destination is shown in "Mirror to:".
