Hello.

Save As allows this functionality.

If you want to be able to replace with the content in the Commonspace, then you can enable the Replace action. 

  • Login as Admin
  • Go to site > Utilities > Preference Management.
  • In Preference Management go to Save As section and set "Allow Replace" to Yes.
  • This will enable a replace action in the Save As UI:
  • communitywebsite.gif
  • Note: This action (like ProI 3.x) will only update parents that are either
    • being copied
    • or set to be updated on the Update Parents step (see my other post to you on Update Parents)

Thanks

Jennifer
