This functionality is available since 2.1.2476.

By default, the article (source) you dragged from the navigator over another article (target) paginated on a page, is not deleted. It remains in the system, marked as being "copied to" as described in Merge content ot two or more articles.

By editing the EditorialConfig, you can change this behavior for all the users in the system and for all the titles, by choosing that:

•The source article is deleted after the user confirmation.

•The source article is deleted silently.

To enable the deleting of the source article with the user confirmation (prompt)

1.Edit the EditorialConfig as explained in Edit EditorialConfig.

2.Check if there is a line containing glbSpikeMergedAfter:

oIf the line exist, just set the value to 2.

oIf the line doesn't exist, on the bottom but before </Dict> add the line
<Item Name="glbSpikeMergedAfter" Value="2" />

3.Save the EditorialConfig and then load it in the database (the procedure is explained in Edit EditorialConfig and it depends on the editing method).

To enable the deleting of the source article silently (no prompt)

1.Edit the EditorialConfig as explained in Edit EditorialConfig.

oIf the line exist, just set the value to 1.

oIf the line doesn't exist, on the bottom but before </Dict> add the line

4.Save the EditorialConfig and then load it in the database (the procedure is explained in Edit EditorialConfig and it depends on the editing method).
