When adding your second guide it is important to consider whether the new guide will use the same content as your existing guide OR need brand new content. Depending on what you need there are different best practices to follow to make the set-up easy for your second guide and beyond.

This video is for those who want to add a new guide that is mostly the same, or similar, to an existing guide. Every time you add a new guide to your account When adding the new guide you’ll simply be applying the same template to it. The benefit of running off the same template means any future updates to that template will update all your guides at the same time.

With Touch Stay it’s really easy to create different templates of content and apply them to different guides. This is useful when you have properties that are in different locations and need different local area guides. Or maybe you have several units in a single apartment building or complex and want a template of content about that building or complex. Once your templates are set up, then adding new guides and applying the templates to them is quick and easy.

We’re often asked the best way to set up a new guide. The answer is that it depends 😉 Here are some scenarios which should help you decide. And if you’re not sure, just send us a support message, we’ll help! Example 1: my new guide is going to be very similar to the first Think of a scenario where you have two properties in the same town or on the same site.

In Content Hub there is a dropdown next to the Tags column header, click this and select “+ New Tag”. You then need to give your Tag a name and choose a colour. We recommend using abbreviations for your Tag names to prevent the Tag selection screens becoming over crowded. You can then link this new Tag to any of your guides using the “Select guides” option and there is also a checkbox to add this Tag to every topic in Content Hub, should you wish to do so.

If you want to make major changes to your Tag structure and update the active Tags on your topics in bulk then there is an option in the Tags drop-down at the top of Content Hub. Click the dropdown, find the Tag you want to edit and go to the menu second level, then click “Manage Topics”. Here you will find a list of all your Subcategories in the left column.

When you have multiple guides there will be some information you want to show on all of them and some information that you only want to show on some of them. Visibility Rules can help with this as they determine whether a Topic will be hidden or shown at guide level.

To delete a guidebook from your account permanently go the Guides list page and then in the 3 dots menufor each guide you will find an option to “Delete”. If you have many guides in your account then you may find it quicker to search for the guide you want to delete by using the search option in the navigation bar at the top right. Once on the target Guide page there is a further “Delete” option in the 3 dots menu for that guide.

Customisations override the Master Content created in Content Hub and make it easy to manage customise property specific content for different guides.
