LibGuides makes it very easy to reuse guides, pages, boxes, and content to save you time and work in creating and maintaining your guides. You can reuse an entire guide by selecting it as a template when creating a new one, or you can reuse individual pages and boxes, and assets including links, databases, media/widgets, documents, books from the catalog and more.
When reusing content, you can either map to the original item, or copy it. If you map to a page or box, you can:
Change the page or box title.
For more editing options, you can copy an item and:
Change the page title and add, delete, or reorder boxes on the page.
Change the box title and add, delete, or edit content within the box.
For commonly reused search widgets, visit the Reusable Content subpage in this guide.
For more information on reusing pages and boxes, see Springshare's FAQs:
For information on reusing assets, search the LibGuides FAQ for the asset type you are looking for, e.g. Link assets.
