Smart Merge - increase your productivity
From version 4.2, Creative Book Builder introduces a great new feature called Smart Merge.
Smart Merge is a new way to merge the placeholders of the content with different values so that the book can be used as template. Instead of copying and pasting contents, different books are generated automatically according to the template.
First, you need to define placeholders using {{ and }}, e.g. {{place_holder_name}}.
For example, the content is defined as below:
The above content can be merged with values:
Placeholders can be defined anywhere, including cover image and book information.
For example, the placeholders, e.g. {{cover_title}}, {{author}} are added to cover image as below:
Those placeholders' values are defined as "Smart Merge" and "CBB Support", after smart merging, the cover image will become:
How to use Smart Merge to generate new book:
1. Tap Publish button to bring the action menu, and then select "Smart Merge".
2. CBB can scan all the pages, cover image, and book information to discover placeholders. Placeholder list is shown after searching.
3. Fill in the values for placeholders.
4. Tap Merge button to start merging.
5. Finally, you can preview the resulted book, upload the result book to cloud services, or add the resulted book as a new book.
