If an element is displayed in the frontend of your page, it is active when the page is published. If an element should no longer be visible, it can be deactivated by opening it and deactivating the visibility of the content element in the Access tab. The element can also be activated or deactivated in the page view on the right via the slider.

Difference between reference and copy

A reference is an element that represents the content of the main element. This reference element cannot be edited. This means that if a content element is to be displayed on different pages, there is no need to create a copy that must be manually traced for all pages individually when the content is changed. If the main element is changed, this change is transferred to all referencing elements.

Copy or reference element and paste it elsewhere:

1.     In the WEB module, select the Page view.
2.     Navigate to the page.
3.     Right-click the icon of the element you want to copy or reference and select Copy from the drop-down menu.
4.     Now navigate to the page where you want to paste the copy or reference of the element.
5.     Now click with the right mouse button on the icon of the element under which the copy or reference is to be inserted and select Paste after or Paste reference after.
6.     Confirm with OK that the element is to be inserted at this position.

Note: The copy of the element must still be switched active in order to be displayed on the web page. A reference is visible immediately. How a reference element is translated can be found on this page under the item Translate.

Cut element and paste it elsewhere:

1. In the WEB module, select the Page view.
2. Navigate to the page where the element to be cut is located.
3. Right-click the icon of the element to be cut and select Cut from the drop-down menu.
4. Now navigate to the page where you want to paste the element.
5. Right-click on the icon of the element under which you want to insert the element and select Paste to.
6. Confirm with OK that the element should be inserted at this position.

Note: The element is visible immediately.

If an element is to be published at a later date, a publication date for the element can be set in the Access tab.

If the element is no longer to be displayed after a certain date, an expiration date can also be entered in the Access tab. 

When the page language has been released and the page has been translated, you can create the translations of the elements. If you have a website whose content is mainly available in English, there is no need to create dummy elements in the German language version, but you can now freely create the required English language elements in the respective column. To translate elements there are two possibilities:

Translate all elements of the page:

1. Select the WEB → Page module.
2. Select the Languages view from the Page Options drop-down menu.
   • The columns are now displayed one below the other and the language translation created is displayed to the right.  
3. Now click on Translate to the left of the page title of the translated language version of the page.
4. The translation wizard will open.
5. Select Translate and confirm with Next.
6. If several languages have already been included on the page, select the language from which you want to create the translation and click Next. If you have only the default language and you create an additional language version, this point will be skipped automatically.
7. The record summary lists which elements would be translated now, here you can determine which ones are really needed by you by selecting the checkboxes. Click Next.
   • The selected elements will now be displayed disabled in the alternative language version.
8. The elements created by the system must now be edited individually and translated manually. Therefore click on Edit.
   • The system will automatically enter "Translate to English/ Français/ Italiano/ Português/ Español/ Slovenščina/中文" in the fields to be translated. After the translation is complete, save your changes.

Translate a single element:

1. Open the element to be translated and click above the save options in the dropdown box that currently says German and select English [NEW].
   • The language dropdown above the save options only appears if the page has already been translated.
2. The linked English element will be created, this will load and you can now fill and save it. 

Note: Since each element that has been translated is inserted disabled, the element must now be made visible. Now activate the created English element either via the Access tab or in the overview with the slider.

If you want to translate an existing German reference element:

1. Create a translation (Translate) of your reference. The newly created language version will now display the German content.
2. Open the newly created alternative language reference under Data sets (and under the buttons Page content, Article, Page, etc.) you will find the content of the referenced element. Here, right-click on the icon of your element and select edit.
3. Now you will see the original element in the German language. Do you have the possibility to select the language via dropdown above the save options?
   • If yes, the original element is translated and you can open it.
   • If not, you have to translate the page on which the element is located first, then the element. Only then can you create a reference to the alternate language version.
   •  If you can select the language, but [NEW] is next to it, the original element must be translated first. This can be done in this step.
4. Now when the element is open in the alternate page language, scroll to the end of the element and copy the page content number in the square brackets and close the element. Then you will automatically jump back to the reference element.
5. Delete the German language element under Data sets, paste the copied page content number in the search slot, wait a moment and select the now suggested element.
6. Do not forget to save!
