Configuring an alternative BluePrint structure
Change your Page Templates to configure where Pages and Components are created or localized to accommodate a specific BluePrint structure.
About this task
When a user on the staging Web site creates or localizes a Page or Component, then by default, the Page or Component is created or localized in the Publication that was published to create the staging Web site. However, this may not always be the Publication in which you want a Page or Component to be created or localized.
For example, you may have a BluePrint structure in which the lowest Publication in the tree, representing a bilingual Web site, combines content from two parent Publications, each representing a language. For example, a bilingual English-Japanese Web site would inherit from two parent Publications, one containing Japanese Components and another containing English Components.
In this case, you would want English Components to be created and localized in the parent English Publication, and Japanese Components in the parent Japanese Publication. You can configure this in the slide-out navigation Settings screen.
For similar reasons, you may want your content items to be published and unpublished using a different Publication than the one that directly corresponds to the editable Web site.
