Navigation:
Click a title link to access the folder, and then click a Properties link to access the content properties page.
Click the Share Content link on the content properties page.
This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Share Content page.
Sharing content converts it into a Managed Content origin type to make it accessible for use by other Content Management features. The content is placed in the system data folder Shared Content within the Managed Content feature, and marked as imported in the current feature. Unlike regular imported managed content, shared content remains editable from within the current feature as well as within the Managed Content feature. Sharing the content also enables version control for the content when accessed from the Managed Content feature.
To share content:
Click the Share Content link on the properties page.
Note: The Share Content link is available only for news content, workspaces, documents, and categorized content.
An example of the properties page is the Web Site URL Properties page.
On the Share Content page, select appropriate values and click the OK button.
Note: Until the content is published within the News Publication feature or Workspaces, if the content is deleted from Managed Content, the actual content is deleted, not just the location, because the origin of the content is now Managed Content.
PeopleSoft Content Management delivers a Managed Content top folder titled Shared Content. Content that is shared by means of the Share Content function is set to be copied to this folder by default. The default share folder is set on the feature definition. Only approved content can be shared. (News content is auto-approved.)

Tags for news publications are displayed on the properties pages as well as the view page for the content. However, some types of content—such as attachments and URLs—open the content in a new window directly without using the application view page. In these instances, tags are available only on the properties page. Application pages can be displayed only in edit or view mode.
To create and use tags for news publications:
Access the pages using one of the following navigations:
Select
Select

Enter the tag name, and click the Update Tags button.
Pagelet Wizard news publications—for example, Company News—display tags for top stories only. The number of tags to display for each story should be limited to three due to limited screen space.
Note: Security considerations: All users who have access to the content will have the add and view tag permissions. Users who are assigned the Administrator, Manager, or Publisher role will also be given modify permissions.
