Managing Content Sharing Across Sites

You can allow Liferay DXP child Sites to display content from parent Sites. This content includes

• Web Content Structures

• Web Content Templates

• Document Types

• Vocabularies and Categories

• Application Display Templates

• Data Definitions

You can configure the Content Sharing settings at the Instance or Site scope. The Instance scope configuration determines the default Site scope configuration. For example, if you disable Content Sharing at the Instance scope, the setting is disabled by default at the Site scope.

2. Under the Content and Data section, click Sharing.

3. Under the Virtual instance scope, click Content Sharing.

4. Check the Allow site administrators to display content from other sites they administer box to allow Site Administrators to share content between the Sites they administer.

5. Configure the Content Sharing setting between Sites and Subsites.
