This feature brings the familiar Dimensions App workflow (clone, overwrite, and merge) to content distributed across multiple spaces in an organization.
What's new
- Organization-level configuration
- Enable the feature and select participating spaces
- Optionally, define one-directional workflows (for example, a source-of-truth space that pushes content, but never receives it)
- Clone across spaces
- Clone any story to another participating space, maintaining the same relative folder path
- Missing folders are created automatically in the target space
- Source and cloned stories are automatically associated with one another across spaces
- Content association
- New organization-level grouping mechanism links all versions of a story across spaces
- Distribute from the Visual Editor
- In the Visual Editor, the Distribute section equivalents to the current story in available other spaces
- Clone, overwrite, and merge actions are available
- The status of each connected story is visible
- Update via overwrite or merge
- Overwrite replaces a target story's full content and structure with the source story
- Merge updates only the block structure, preserving the target story's existing content
Prerequisites
- Participating spaces must have consistent (or shared) component schemas for distributed content to map and render correctly. This is not yet validated automatically.
- Users must have permission to create and edit content in both the source and target spaces to perform clone, overwrite, or merge actions.
- Distributed content is not automatically published in the target space; it must be reviewed first
Known limitations
- Content and asset references are not automatically updated. Editors must review and update these manually to ensure content renders correctly.
- Bulk actions are not currently supported.
What to expect in future iterations
- Easier updating of content references during the distribution action
- AI-powered translation when cloning content
- Manual management of content associations
- Cross-space visibility surfacing content status at a glance
- Additional improvements based on customer feedback
Multi-Space Content Distribution is available now on the Elite Plan. Interested organizations can enable it from Organization Settings → Content Distribution.
