3.5.3. My imported items

“My imported items” collection allows:

• To create your own articles in Cikisi (you are the author)
• To recreate articles from the web that are not in your platform, or that are incomplete
• Insert documents from the Office suite into Cikisi (Excel, PDF, Word, etc.)
  

Before creating an article

Before creating an article manually, check that it does not already exist on Cikisi.

To do this:

1. Open any theme
2. Paste in the search bar any part of the title within quotation marks (from the original article you want to insert)
   

Use this article rather than recreate it!
Asking Cikis to create an article that already exists can generate an error message.

Create a Cikisi document

Collection > click on the “+” of “my imported items”

• Paste the URL of an existing article on the web and then on verify
• Or click on “I don’t have the URL of the original article” (creation of an article from scratch)

If you have pasted an existing URL, our robots will pre-complete as much information as possible (image, title, date, description, etc.)

If you don’t have a URL, you’ll have to copy and paste content of an article or write it yourself.

At the bottom of the creation form, you can already add your new item to an existing collection:

In the next point, we will see how to massively insert+ articles from an Excel file.
