Your existing content, such as articles, case studies, or products, is topically related. In Kontent.ai, you specify these relations using linked items. You can use this approach to feature related products on an e-commerce site or provide a list of related articles.
How content linking works
Watch this video to understand the concept of linking content together.
Add a place for related items
To create relations between items, you need to add a linked items element to a content type. With related items, your content creators can specify the related content.
In the Related articles element, click Add existing items.
Select one or more existing articles.
Click Add.
Create content and link it
In the Related articles element, click Create new item.
If multiple workflows are available, select one for the new content item.
Type a name for your content item.
Insert all the content you want in your new related article.
Click in the top left to return to the parent article.
(Optional) Publish the new version of your article. You can select unpublished related articles and publish them together with their parent article.
Manage your linked content
After adding the articles, you can reorder, remove, or expand the items to view their content. To edit a linked item, click to open the content item for editing.The linked content items are independent and can be accessed outside the content items they’re used in. This means you only need to edit a specific linked item once and the changes will be automatically reflected everywhere. You can also publish the linked items along with your original article.
Understand how linking the right content items at the right time is part of the big picture of modular content.
To suggest linked items with AI, you need to activate it in Innovation Lab.Once activated, it reads through your content items to index them. Your content stays as it is. If you deactivate the suggestions and later re-activate them, any items created in the meantime won’t be used for content suggestions.
New linked items inherit the collection of their parent itemTo change the item’s collection, open the linked content item and move the item to a different collection. You can also do that for already published items without creating a new version.
Making changes to published contentOnce your article is published, you cannot make any changes. To add new related articles to a linked items element or update the article itself, you first need to create a new version of the item or unpublish the item.
