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:
This book "{{place_holder_title}}" is created by {{place_holder_author}}
The above content can be merged with values:
This book "Creative Book Builder Getting Started" is created by CBB Support
This book "English Lesson" is created by Teacher A
This book "Training Manual" is created by Peter
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.
