      How do you link stories manually?

      I have several documents that I created alternate layouts for, and some of them I had to add pages after creating the Alternate Layouts.

      I set it up to link stories in case of edits, but this doesn’t account for new pages added.

      This has saved me on a number of occasions!

      I think I figured it out. It looks like the Content Collector will do it or Edit > Place and Link. I was hoping there was a way to link frames that already exist, but this will work.

        That seems to be a text threading plug-in. I only saw threading options in the documentation. I was looking to link identical text on alternate layouts so I only have to update one instance rather than multiple.
