Add components to the Content folder

When you're using a project to collect components, you can add them to the project's Content folder.

In the Content pane, after a topic's name, you can see more information about the topic's status if you see any of the following icon types:
  • Reused component ( Referenced by another topic)
  • State ( Draft, Invalid XML, Approved, Signed, Needs Translation)
  • Lock ( Unlocked, Locked by you, Locked by another user, Locked by Inspire, Approved and lo0cked

To add components to the Content folder:

  1. Click Projects_TopMenuOpt Projects.
  2. On the Project Management tab, select the project you want to add existing components to.
  3. Right-click the project and select Open.
  4. Optionally, from an open project's Content pane, you can create a new root or subfolder for the new content.
    1. Right-click the Content folder, and then select Create folder.
    2. Next to the new folder enter a name.
  5. In the Content pane, right-click Content, and then select Add existing component.
  6. On the Select Components dialog, in the Folders pane, select the location of the existing component.
  7. In Components, select the files you want to add to the project.
    When you add a component to a project, on the Select Components screen, you can set the number of components listed per page. At the bottom of the list, next to Items per page, from the dropdown menu select a quantity.
    Inspire remembers how you customize this setting. The next time you open the Selected Components panel, Inspire uses your choice instead of the default. If you want Inspire to forget your customization and return to showing the default number of Items per page, you must re-select the default or clear your browser's cache.
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you've added the files you need.
  9. On the Select Components dialog, click Select.
    Results:
    You can verify you selected the correct component by looking in the Content details pane at the preview. You can see the first few sections of the topic at a glance and scroll to see the rest of the topic. If the pane isn't open, click the down arrow in the pane's title bar.

    If you think the preview isn't showing the latest version, click Refresh .

    You can copy component details outside of Inspire. From the Content details pane, use your cursor to highlight text and then use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + C. The text you copy is saved in the Windows clipboard. You can now paste the text to Notepad or any other application you want.
