The best way to reuse a publication is to Reuse Forks and its "structure" between publications. This will help you save time when creating new publications and reduce the amount of work needed when updating the publication structures. To learn more, see About Reusing Content.
When you duplicate a publication, Paligo creates a new publication with the same content and the same name as the original, with "copy" and a number added at the end. The new publication is positioned below the original publication in the Content Manager. To learn more, see What Happens When a Publication is Duplicated?.
Tip
To make different versions of a publication, you may prefer to use the branching feature. Branching is designed for creating multiple versions and allows you to make a copy that can later be merged back into the original. To find out more, see Branching.
To duplicate a publication:
-
Select the Dotted menu (...) to the right of the publication in the Content Manager.
-
Select Duplicate from the menu.
The duplicated publication ("copy 1") appears below the original publication in the Content Manager.
-
Select the dotted menu ( ...) for the copy and choose Rename.
-
Enter a new name for the publication duplicate.
-
You can now change the structure without affecting the original publication.
Tip
You can then edit the publication copy to meet your requirements. For more information, see:

Reuse Forks (for copying and pasting a fork)
When you duplicate a publication, Paligo creates a new publication with the same content and the same name as the original, with "copy" and a number added at the end. The new publication is positioned below the original publication in the Content Manager.
The duplicated publication has its own unique ID and is completely separated from the original publication. However, it does not duplicate the included content, because these are only Forks (links to the topics or subpublications).
Changes to the forks will affect both the original publication and its duplicate, as both use the same content forks. But it is possible to:
-
Delete forks from a publication without affecting the other publication.
-
Add forks to a publication without affecting the other publication.
-
Change the fork order in a publication without affecting the order in the other publication.
Note
To get a duplicated publication with duplicated forks, you need to duplicate the content and then add those forks to the publication.
That way, the duplicated publication will have different forks from the original.
A publication contains links to topics called forks. It does not contain the actual topics.
