How to Manually Import an Article
In this tutorial you will learn how to add content manually to your project.
1. Manually Importing an Article
At times your URL may not be automatically imported or you may want to add just a part of an article instead of the whole thing. For these purposes you are able to import your article manually. Begin by clicking on the '+Create' button or better, click on the 'Start from Scratch' icon shortcut found in the options bar.
2. The Content Editor
After you click on the 'Start from Scratch' icon the editor section will open.
Here is where you can write your ebook's content from scratch.
***IMPORTANT: never write the content directly to the template. The content has to be imported to the template.
If you are going to import the content of a blog post or article that cannot be automatically imported Designrr, start by typing the title.
Leave this window open and move to a different tab in your browser.
3. Selecting Text to Import
In the new tab open to the article you want to import. For this tutorial, we will be using this blog post:
Manually select the article section, the text and images that you want to import. It is very important that you select the body of the text and not all of the content on the entire page.
Once selected use either your mouse right click menu "copy' function or use the keys shortcut - Control +'C'. This will save the content to your clipboard.
4. Adding Content to the Designrr Editor
Paste the content of the blog post to the content section of the text editor - use either your mouse right click menu "paste" function or use the keys shortcut Control +'V').
This is how it looks like after all the content has been pasted to the editor.
--- Article Start ---
--- Article End ---
Once you've added your title and content to the editor click the 'Choose a Template' button in the top right hand corner and select your template as you would normally when adding a project.
5. Manual Import Completed
The project has been created. You can see the result here:
As you can see the ebook is almost complete and there is very little that needs to be edited.
