Update Topics with New Snippets

[PharaohTet]

If your Realm has existing Topics, and you revise the basic Topic template by adding a new Snippet...

Is there a way to implement the new snippet into the pre-existing topics?

EXAMPLE:

I've created a few Individual topics. Later, I opt to add a snippet to the template to allow a field for selecting a Royal Title. After that, every new topic I create has the Royal Title option. But the pre-existing ones still don't?

Do I have to scrap the old ones and re-enter them? Or am I missing something obvious here?

YES, I'm a noob at this. And YES, I searched the forums first....

Thanx in advance!

You need to resync your topic with its original structure. You do this from the Toolbox icon on the top right of each snippet.

Josh left out all the steps.

Click hammer and wrench icon at the top of main topic pane or press F7 -> Quick Edit Content -> Synchronize the Structure to Match the Category Definition.

You have to do this separately for each topic.

Spot on!! Thanx, folks.

The learning curve for RW is pretty steep. But I have to say, I LOVE it... it shows how detailed, versatile and configurable the package is.

My bad. That is the painful part

I think it is fairly simple to get into the stage of using it for information storage and automatic linking, but the extra power that requires a bit more learning certainly makes the tool far more useful.
