The journalist has the option to select an additional broadcasting location for their article, for example:

We select an additional broadcasting location (website) and indicate a specific category to which the article should belong. Then, we click on the blue [Save] button.

After saving the changes (i.e., after publishing the source article), at the bottom of the form, there will be information about links that directly redirect to the editing of articles published on the additional websites.

Upon navigating to the article list of the source website, you will notice a new column named [Multisite] - in cases where an article had an additional publication commissioned on other websites. By clicking on the [Details] button, a pop-up will appear displaying information about these publications.

Conversely, upon accessing the article list of the website to which an additional publication was commissioned, you will notice a [Source] tag.

An article commissioned for additional publication on another website will be transmitted there in real-time, with a [inactive] status and an added canonical link pointing to the location of the original article's publication.

As part of the Multisite feature, the full article content will be imported, along with all settings and additional fields that were customized in the source article.

IMPORTANT! The Multisite feature does not transfer:

• a ready-made poll / photo gallery / plebiscite attached to the article,
• the settings of the information ticker,
• downloadable files attached to the article.

The main multimedia material - if added to the source article - will be embedded in the content editor when published on additional websites (above the main article content). In other words, audio-video material uploaded to the source portal's database will be embedded.
