• If the map contains the reference to a topic template, a copy of it is created inside the folder, in the same hierarchy as in the topics folder in the dita-templates folder.

• If the map contains the reference to a map template, a copy of it is created inside the folder, in the same hierarchy as in the maps folder in the dita-templates folder.

• If the map contains the generic reference to a topic or map outside the dita-templates/topics or dita-templates/maps folder, the same is only referred to, and no copy is created.

  note note
  NOTE
  dita-templates/topics and dita-templates/maps are the default paths in Guides and are configurable.

  If there is a topic template key definition inside the map template, a new key (therefore new topic) is created and referred to in the map.

• If another map or topic is created at the same level in the folder, then the names of the newly created assets are appended with 0,1,2, and so on. You can choose to open the map for editing or save the map file in the repository.
