Find a Variable Set ID

During content import, if using the setting Match with existing variable set, a variable set ID must be entered to avoid duplicated variable sets. However, you can only match one variable set, so if there are multiple in the import, the others will still be duplicated.

Paligo will collect multiple variable sets into one. After the import, you can separate them into multiple variable sets again if required.

Tip

It is possible to configure the import to make translatable variables (the default is plain text variables). Contact support to get the parameter variable.type set to "translation". To learn more about variable sets in Paligo, see Variables.
