Copying a Localization

Copying an existing Localization is faster than creating a new one and setting its properties from scratch as the rules you have already defined are also copied. For example, you may have already created a Localization with a number of rules that include all objects used by the Books that make up your end user documentation, but that exclude specific objects that should not be available outside the company. By copying the Localization, these rules are also copied and you don't need to create them all over again.

To Copy a Localization:

1. Select the Localization that you want to copy.
2. Choose Localizations > Copy Localization from the menu

   -or-

   Choose Copy Localization on the Localizations toolbar

   -or-

   Right-click and choose Copy Localization.

   

3. A message appears asking you to confirm the action. Choose Yes to create a copy of the Localization. Author-it creates and displays a duplicate of the original Localization with "Copy of " inserted at the beginning of the description.

   Note: The default Library path sets the name of the subfolder based on what is first entered in the Localization Name field. If you don't rename the Localization first, the path is not updated.

4. Change any settings, including the new Localization's Description, then save your changes.
