Inserting a conref with Authoring Bridge

A conref allows you to reference another object or the contents of an element stored in another object in the repository. You can insert a conref into a topic or map that is checked out from the repository.

Procedure

  1. In your XML authoring tool with the object open for editing, place the cursor where you want to insert the conref.
  2. Click Tridion Docs > Conref > Insert Conref.

    The Insert Conref window opens. This is a repository view window.

  3. Browse through the repository and select the object to which you want to link.
  4. Click the grey box around the element that you want to reference.
  5. Click Insert.
    • If you selected text to link, the text becomes the link to the file.
    • If you did not select text, the topic title becomes the link to the file.
