Add Related content

The steps below assume that the edit screen for the content page is already open in Pangea CMS. To learn how to create a content page from the beginning, see the following article:

Two methods are available for adding Related content to a content page:


Add Related content via Editor

To add Related content to a text content page:

  2. Set the search filters according to your needs. Then, hit Search to refresh the search results.

  4. Hit Save to confirm your choice.

The Related content is added via Editor.

Add Related content via settings

On other content pages, go to Related content > Select content to add Related content.

The remaining steps are the same as for adding Related content via Editor.



Rules for reciprocated Related content

Related content links are automatically reciprocated between certain types of content pages. For example, if the Related content section on an Article page includes a link to a Video, the same Article is added automatically to the Related content section on the Video page.

The following basic rules apply:

  • When you add Related content to a text content page, links to multimedia and interactive content pages that support Related content are reciprocated.
  • When you add Related content to a multimedia content page, links to text content pages that support Related content are reciprocated.
  • When you add Related content to an interactive content page, links to text content pages that support Related content are reciprocated.
NOTE: Links to the same type of content page are not reciprocated. For example, if the Related content section on an Article page includes a link to another text content page (such as another Article or a Blog), the link is not reciprocated.
