Use 'Replaces' to easily manage new editions
I updated this feature today: here's what it does and how to use it.
What 'Replaces' Does
Using 'Replaces' you can set that an inbro is a 'replacement' for another.
When the new inbro goes live, the replaced inbro is expired automatically and all links to the replaced inbro redirect to the new one. You don't need to remember to update the replaced inbro to expire it.
Also any inbro Select buttons on your site that are coded for the replaced inbro will show the pop-up for the replacing inbro.
This saves you editing links and inbro Select buttons on your site, a real help if you have many inbros or links in several places.
'Replaces' works well across multiple generations too, so for example if you publish several editions a year and your Spring edition replaced your Winter edition, then later on your Summer edition replaced your Spring edition, all links to either the Winter or Spring edition will redirect to the Summer edition.
You can set 'Replaces' on an inbro at any time. One inbro can replace several others if you need.
How to Set 'Replaces'
In inbro Publisher, edit the inbro you want to set (you'll also see this screen when you create a new inbro).
The drop down shows all the inbros this one could replace. Pick one.
The screen will refresh to show your selection as replaced.
Pick more inbros to be replaced if you wish.
Then click 'Save changes' and you're done.
If you want to undo a replacement, edit the inbro, click the 'Remove' button for the replacement, then click 'Save changes'.
