Dynamic Remix

Dynamic Remix Overview

Dynamic Remix is an extension to the core static remix feature.

The purpose of Dynamic Remix is to allow the inclusion of maintained information pages from a source document into multiple target documents. The latest maintained version of a source section is the one that is always included in a dynamic target document when a format of any type is generated for the target document.

All source document changes will reflect in the dynamic document remixed section including content, components and CSS.

In this documentation the Source is the document where the dynamic remix page is maintained. The Target is the document into which the source remix page is inserted.

One Source dynamic remix page can be inserted into multiple target documents.
