Manage associated content
Associated content is the content on a page that originates from another item. If you edit associated content, you also change the content on other pages that come from the same item.
To ensure that you know if you are editing associated content and thereby also changing content somewhere else on your site, you can get an overview of all the associated content on a page.
When publishing a page, any associated content that comes from content items that are not in the final workflow state will not be published. When you select the Associated content check box and attempt to publish the page, a notification appears to notify you if one or more items used on the page are not publishable.
View and manage associated content
To view and manage the associated content of a single component or sublayout:
-
Click a component or a sublayout that contains associated content.
-
In the floating toolbar that appears, you can see the following information about the content:
-
Workflow – indicates if the item where the associated content comes from is part of a workflow and if the item is not yet in the final workflow state. If you have the sufficient rights, you can click Workflow and move the item through to the next workflow state.
NoteWhen you move the item through the workflow, remember that this also affects all the other pages where the item's content is used on your site.
-
Usage – indicates the number of items that use the associated content. To see general information about the associated content and the list of items that also use this content, click Usage.
