Localizing or unlocalizing items

If you are working in a Child Publication, to modify the content of shared items you must create a local copy which then becomes editable. If you do not want to use the local copy of an item, you can also unlocalize the item. If you unlocalize, you will again use the shared item.

Before you begin

To localize or unlocalize an item, you must have Localize permissions for the Folder or Structure Group in which the item is stored.

Procedure

  1. To localize or unlocalize an item, navigate to the location in the tree that contains the item you want to localize.
  2. In the list view, select the item you wish to localize or unlocalize and in the Organize tab of the ribbon, do one of the following:
    • Click Localize to create a local copy.
    • Click Unlocalize to go back to the original shared item.

Results

You have localized or unlocalized an item.
