Creating a shared chapter
Shared chapters are chapters that are created and made available to multiple books within your site. This can be useful when you have several books that are each slightly different, but share some of the same components. Rather than recreate identical inline chapters for each book, you can create shared chapters that can be used across all books. As with any shared asset in Brightspot, any change you make to the shared chapter is reflected in all instances of it across all books.
To create a shared chapter:
- In the header, click .
- From the Create list, select Chapter.
- Using the following table as a reference, complete the fields as needed.
- Complete your site's workflow and publish the shared chapter.
