3. Block inheritance

Earlier, if you want to restrict the content level access of inherited team accounts, you would be adding them to the denied list manually in the respective content level. With the Block inheritance option, you can restrict the content access of team accounts irrespective of the inheritance. This allows you to configure the access of any content level (version/language/category/article) to only the desired team accounts and team account groups.

For example, you have six inherited team accounts in version 'V1', and you want to provide access only to two team accounts.

Enhancements

1. Dual linking

When dual linking is enabled, if Article-A is added as a related article in Article-B, then Article-B will appear as a related article in Article-A. Save time by using dual linking for adding related articles. With this option, you can avoid adding the related articles in both articles; instead, you can add one article and enable dual linking.
