In this video, we'll show you how to edit the percentage weight of a topic in a draft of a published blueprint.
Adjusting the weight allows you to emphasize the importance of specific topics relative to the overall content structure. We’ll guide you through the process of selecting a topic and modifying its weight percentage to reflect its significance. If, after editing, the total percentage exceeds 100%, you can click the "Normalize" button to automatically adjust the weights. Once you’re satisfied with the changes, you can "Publish Changes" in your draft for finalization.
