Hello,

I am trying to do something I think is very basic but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with DNN.  I need to be able to take the content from a module (say, text, or links module, etc) and make that same content be on multiple pages in a fashion that there is 1 source of content and when that source is changed, all copies of that content would show the reflected change.

The "Show on all pages"  option is nice, however, I need to be able to not show it on certain pages.  Is this possible?

The "Export Content" option doesn't work because that only exports the content as-is once, versus enabling a module to have a copy of the content.  A copy of the content would show the content from the original module forever, not just a one time content copy.  So when the module gets a change, the copied modules would reflect that change.

Thanks in advance for your answer!

Tim - You can show on all pages, then simply delete the module instance on those pages that you don't want it to show.

Another way to do it: use the "Add Existing Module" option in the control bar. This will create a reference  to the selected module. You can have multiple references to a single module.
