About Reusing Content
Content reuse is the practice of using the same content in multiple places to save time and effort.
With Paligo's content reuse features, you can write the content once, in one place and reuse that content in multiple topics and publications. This will save you time and effort, but also result in a more consistent look and feel.
This means that you can reuse the same warning message, procedure steps or safety chapter. By using Variables and Filtering / Profiling (conditional text) you can vary the content depending on product and still use the same topics.
Tip
If you are new to content reuse, structured authoring and single-sourcing, it's easy to be overwhelmed by the reuse features at your disposal in Paligo.
