  • If the document you are copying is a parent to related documents (child documents), you can use the options in the Paste Special dialog box to create two different paste scenarios.
  • Copy (selection only)
  • Note:
  • Duplicate (selection and related)
  • When you create a duplicate copy of a selected document or documents, the Developer creates new copies of all the documents and the documents related to the selection, including:
  • Modules
  • Sections
  • Topics
  • Web pages
  • Packages
  • Assessments
  • Questions
  • Glossaries (selectable)
  • Style sheets (selectable)
  • When duplicating content, you can choose to include or not include duplicate copies of the glossaries and style sheets linked to the selected content. If you do not include glossaries and style sheets in the duplication, the duplicated content links to the glossaries and style sheets linked to the original source content; this allows you to maintain a master glossary and style sheet for all related content. The default setting for glossaries is to create a duplicate since you may want to change the definition of terms for new versions of your content without affecting previous versions. The default setting for style sheets is to not duplicate, with the purpose of linking all content to a single style sheet.
  • Packages stored in the System folders installed with the Developer are not included as a related document when duplicating content. The Duplicate (selection and related) option does not create copies of templates, master role lists, sound files, and custom icon packages linked to the copy source. The new copies still point to the original documents for those components.
  • Note:
  • Duplicating an assessment that contains content linked to questions through the assessment's Associated Content property, creates duplicate copies of the assessment and question documents, plus all documents directly and indirectly linked to the questions; modules, sections, topics, web pages, packages, and so on.
  • Note:
  • Multi-user Considerations
  • Any new document that you create or link is automatically checked out to you. If you want to make a new document available to multiple authors and place the document under the Developer's
