Changing the content type of a modification

You can change the content type of a modification as long as the new content type is compatible with the variations of the modification: If a variation uses a template for its content, the new content type must be compatible with the content type of the template. The Frosmo Control Panel does not allow you to select a content type that is incompatible with the variations.

To change the content type of a modification:

  1. In the Frosmo Control Panel, in the sidebar, select Modifications.

  2. In the modifications list, find the modification whose content type you want to change, and click the modification name.

  3. In the Basic settings view, in the Content section, check that every template-based variation uses a template compatible with the new content type. If a variation is not compatible, either change its template to a compatible one or remove the variation.

    note

    If the selected content type has zero compatible templates available, and if you want to create template-based variations for the modification, you must first create one or more templates for that content type.

  6. When you're done, click Save.
