Leveraging content reuse across various types of content objects is a significant advantage of Teamcenter Technical Publishing. This capability allows you to reference the same graphics or warning messages in different XML content modules, as well as reuse generic content modules or chapters in diverse document structures. The benefits of this feature are substantial, leading to enhanced consistency and cost savings in content creation and translation processes. However, to fully harness these advantages, it is crucial to effectively track where and how content is reused.
Technical Publishing offers a comprehensive view of relationships between parent and child elements. This means you can easily identify all graphics utilized by a content module and, conversely, view all modules that use a specific graphic. Consequently, when making modifications to a reused graphic or content module, you can promptly understand the impact on all associated documents. This level of visibility ensures efficient management and maintenance of the content reuse process.
