Creating External Links by Copying Existing Ones
You can reuse an external link you have created for a registry object by copying it to other objects. For all copies, the same ExternalLink object in the registry is used.
*To copy an external link
1. Depending on the Changing Preference Settings you have defined for the CentraSite Details editor, single-click or double-click the registry object whose external link you want to copy in a CentraSite view to open the editor. The object's external links are displayed on the External Links tab.
2. On the External Links tab, select the external link you want to copy.
3. Select Copy to Add to Registry Object from the link's context menu.
When you now use the Add External Link option to create external links for one or more registry objects (see previous section), the URL of the external link you copied is displayed by default in the Add External Link dialog. You can accept it and thus copy the external link to the selected object(s), or specify a different URL and thus create new external links.
