Copying content to a content area

You can copy content from one content area to another, either in the same room of a different room.

You can copy text from any HTML source and paste it into a content area. However, make sure you thoroughly test the content to ensure that it works correctly. Content that works in other contexts may not work the same as content in a room.

When you edit the content of a room, you should only open the HTML editor in one content area at a time. When you save your work in one content area, the other content areas are reverted to the last saved version, so any changes you made in those areas will be lost.

Changes you make to the room tree structure or to room content will not be available to patrons until you run the SD_CONTENT_EXTRACTOR task. (For more information, see Managing scheduled tasks .)
