Editing Segments in Child Publications

Although Segments are BluePrinted, you cannot localize Segments in Child Publications.

About this task

When you create Segments in a Parent Publication the Segment is shared to all Child Publications in the BluePrint hierarchy following standard SDL Tridion Sites functionality. You cannot, however, localize Segments in Child Publications; you cannot create a “local copy”. When you open a Segment in a Child Publication you are prompted to make the following choice:
  • Edit the parent item.
  • Open the shared item in read only mode.
