Overview of Article Aliases

An article alias is a method for making the same piece of information accessible in multiple locations. This allows a single article to be referenced or displayed in different manuals > chapters without duplicating content.

• Article aliases help centralize information management.
• Updating the original article automatically updates all its aliases.

Why Article Aliases Matter

Using article aliases ensures consistency and saves time. When information needs to be updated, changes are made in one place, and those updates are reflected everywhere the alias appears. This reduces errors and maintenance effort.

• Ensures information is always current across all locations.
• Reduces the risk of outdated or conflicting content.
