Add a linked page

A linked page shows the same page in more than one project. You edit the content in one place, the original page, and every project that links that page uses the same content.


Adding a linked page


To add a linked page to a project:


  1. Open the project you want to add the page to.
  2. Click Add page.
  3. Choose Linked page.
  4. Under "Choose a project", click the project that contains the original page.
  5. Tick the checkbox of each page you want to link. To preview a page first, hover over its thumbnail and click the magnifier icon.
  6. Click Link page.


The linked pages are added to the project's page list, each with a lock icon and a "Linked page" tag.


Linked pages in the page list


A linked page appears in the project's page list with a lock icon on its thumbnail and a "Linked page" tag. Hover over the tag to see where the original page is: the source project's ID and title, and the original page's title.

The content of a linked page can't be edited in the project that links it. A linked page has no edit button, and clicking its thumbnail opens a preview instead of the editor. In the editor's page list, clicking a linked page shows the message "Linked spreads are not editable".


Changing the content of a linked page


You change a linked page's content by editing the original page in its own project:


  1. Open the project that contains the original page.
  2. Edit the original page and save your changes.
  3. Publish the project that contains the original page, and each project that contains a linked page, to update their published versions.


Choosing between a linked page and a duplicate


Use a linked page when the page must stay the same in every project. If you want a separate copy that you can edit on its own, duplicate the page instead:


  • From another project: click Add page and choose Duplicate a page.
  • Within the same project: hover over the page in the page list and click the duplicate icon (tooltip "Duplicate page").


Duplicating a linked page creates another linked page, not an editable copy. To get an editable copy, duplicate the original page.


Frequently asked questions


Why can't I delete a page that has linked pages?


An original page can't be deleted while linked pages to it exist. When you try, Maglr shows "Remove linked pages first", followed by the names of the projects that contain linked pages. Delete the linked pages in those projects first, then delete the original page.


What happens to the original page when I delete a linked page?


You can delete a linked page like any other page. Deleting it doesn't affect the original page, which stays unchanged in its own project.


Why isn't my project listed under "Choose a project"?


When you add a linked page, the "Choose a project" list only shows projects that:


  • have a matching project type: Slide publications, Stack publications, Vertical swipe publications and Micro content can link pages from each other, while a Print publication only shows other Print publications
  • you have access to
  • contain at least one page of a type your subscription includes (Block template pages or Freeform pages)


If the project with the original page doesn't meet all three conditions, it isn't listed. If it does, scroll to the bottom of the list and click Load more to show more projects.
