Add Existing Content to a Map

You can insert existing maps and topics from your Content Library into a map.

  1. In the Content Library, right-click a map and select Dock button.
  2. In the Content Library, navigate to the component(s) that you want to add to the map.
  3. If you want to add multiple components, select a range of topics while holding the Shift key.
  4. Drag and drop the component(s) from the Content Library into the map tree.
    Tip:

    A line appears that indicates where the component will be added. If you drop a component on another component, a green box appears. The green box indicates that the new component will be added as a child of the component that is already in the map.

    A video showcases how the user can drag and drop components to easily insert them into a map tree.
  5. If prompted, from the Insert drop-down menu, select a relevant element and click Insert.
    When adding content to the map tree the user can select a reference type from a drop-down menu.
    Note:

    By default, the intelligent drag-and-drop selects the most optimal map element for you. For example, concept topics are added to maps with the topicref element. To select a map element manually, hold the Shift key while dragging and dropping a resource into the map tree.

    This behavior is configurable. To disable the intelligent drag-and-drop, contact your Customer Success Manager.
