Add Existing Content to a Map
You can insert existing maps and topics from your Content Library into a map.
- In the Content Library, right-click a map and select Dock button.
- In the Content Library, navigate to the component(s) that you want to add to the map.
- If you want to add multiple components, select a range of topics while holding the Shift key.
- 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.
- If prompted, from the Insert drop-down menu, select a relevant element and click Insert.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.
Select a Range of Files
You can quickly select multiple files in the Content Library by selecting a range of files.
- In the Content Library, navigate to the directory where you want to select a range of files.
- Select the first file in the range of files that you want to select.
- Hold Shift and click the last file in the range of files that you want to select.
