This article is positioned as a quick brief B2B article introducing single-source publishing and outlying the use cases and benefits of it.
Single-source Publishing
When using the content management method known as single-source publishing, changes made to a single content source can be automatically replicated across multiple pieces of content. This allows content teams to reduce the labor-intensive time required to update many different forms of content. By simply changing the centralized source of truth document, all other documents are updated regardless of content type or format.
When to use single-source publishing
While many scenarios benefit greatly from single-source publishing, common uses include:
Managing extensive help centers or knowledge bases with articles cross-referenced under multiple topics
Editing content that is used across different forms of media and device format types
Maintaining accurate and updated information for rapidly evolving documentation
For many such instances, using single-source publishing assists editors in keeping their content accurate and up to date regardless of the size of their knowledge bases or audiences. Since changes to the source document are made only once, multiple help centers and device formats can be updated quickly while still keeping the content accurate and relevant.
Benefits of using single-source publishing
Content teams using single-source publishing reduce editing workloads, publication timeframes, and costly multi-format publishing. While it remains important for the content team to have procedures in place to make sure that their original edits are error free, the potential for additional errors is reduced since edits only need to be made once. Single-source publishing also benefits the end users, allowing them to enjoy the content in their preferred way.
With this process, the content team can enhance their own abilities to manage a sprawling

Hello there!
I'm with our Support Team, and will be happy to assist with the payment difficulties you're experiencing.
Sometimes a transaction can be declined due to insufficient funds. If you don't have enough funds to make your upcoming payment, you can pause your membership and resume it whenever you're ready. The day you resume your membership will become your new billing date.
If you have sufficient funds available but are still encountering issues, here are a few simple steps you can follow:
Check if you're using a valid form of payment. Sign into your account and click on the "Manage" option to switch or update your current payment method.
Once you've updated your payment information, our system will automatically attempt the payment again. Your membership should be restored during the next payment attempt. If you don't want to wait for the system to retry, you can cancel your subscription and sign up again to regain access immediately.
If the payment still fails after updating your payment method, I recommend doing a quick check to ensure the following:
The card number has no spaces or dashes.
The card has not expired, and you're using the correct expiration date.
You have entered the correct Card Verification Code (CVC).
Your billing address matches the billing address associated with your credit or debit card.
If you continue to experience payment declines even after verifying your payment details, I suggest reaching out to your bank or credit card company. They will be able to investigate the specific reason for the decline in more detail.
Please feel free to ask me any questions or share any concerns you may have while going through this process. I'll be glad to help!
Best regards, Support
