Unhide empty snippets

[joepacelli]

So after you import an export file into a Realm, I want to edit one of the items but the only thing visible are the snippets which have data. How do I reveal the snippets which were blanket during the import to now add text to them.

For example, the Creature article.
If the creature had no weakness(es), and now I want to add one
This snippet is not visible after the import.

Hello there

Try this, add snippet above/below> More> All type of category-- should be in there

It is not that it is invisible... it is not there.

If a setting was marked to delete all empty snippets after import (or something like that; there's a Quick Edit menu command that does so, for example), then they were deleted, not hidden.

You would need to add it again. Ctrl+T adds a new generic text snippet. If you want it to be recognized as a specific snippet from the Topic Definition, you need to use the menu to add it from the "Types for this Section" list.

Or select the "re-synchronise" menu option which will put back the snippets which are in the category definition but not in the current topic.

Export automatically removes empty snippets. So they won't be present in the import file and if you wanted them added, you would have to follow what others have suggested in this thread.
