Make Admonitions Reusable

You can add "regular" admonitions by selecting Insert and choosing an admonition. Regular admonitions are designed as "one-off" messages that will not be reused.

But as you create more topics, you may realise that you need to reuse the same admonition in many places. In this situation, you can quickly convert the regular admonition into a reusable component.

To convert a regular admonition into a reusable component:

  1. Select the topic or component in the Content Manager to open it in the Editor.

    Content Manager in Paligo. It shows the Documents section contains an Acme 100 Topics folder. Inside the folder there is a publication and many topics, including "Connect to Network (100).

    Alternatively, you can Create a Topic and edit that.

  2. Select any part of the admonition.

  3. Select the top-level element of the admonition in the Element Structure Menu and choose Convert to reusable component..
