Sharing

The Sharing feature allows a user to create content on one site and then share it to other sites. This means a user does not have to recreate similar content on the other sites which saves time.

Sharing is done for the following:

  • Posts (manually selected by the user)
  • Templates (automatic)
  • Media (automatic)

Below is a table on what can and can’t be shared. We are constantly expanding the list of what can and can’t be shared. Please keep an eye on this page and our Release notes for updates in this regard.

Elements that Share Automatically between sub sites

Templates, Elementor Site Settings and Media share automatically between sub sites. This means that if you edit it on another sub site it will have a direct impact on all sites. As an example if you delete an image off of your UK site then it will be deleted off of all sub sites. 

Even though templates do share automatically the conditions for the templates do not share. This needs to be connected again on a per sub site basis. 

The functions within Sharing

Update Button 

Once you have shared an item you can press the update button to Refresh that share, this pushes the changes made on the Master Page/Post/Template/Listing Grid to the sub sites it is shared to. 

Bulk Sharing

To ensure we make the process of sharing to multiple sites as easy as possible you can use Bulk Sharing. 

By selecting the sites on either a Site Group level or a individual level on the sharing panel and then navigating to the Bulk Update dropdown you can do a variety of functions.
