Hi Yves, I'm glad you enjoy the new add-on. Based on Pieterjan's similar request we added an issue for this:     EXM-49001 [Writer Helper] Automatically create reusable components We do not have some precise future plans for it, we found useful for our interns to work on it in order to get more accustomed using the Oxygen APIs but indeed one direction would be to automatically create a reusable component and conref to it from all places. My initial wish for the add-on was for it to be useful no matter what XML vocabulary you are using, so it does not have any DITA-specific features. Also the add-on only takes the text content into account when finding similar content, so if your two similar paragraphs have different attributes or they contain key refs, like for example one of them has a keyref <ph keyref="abc"/> and the other does not, we still report them as similar because we rely on the end user to make the final choice. So if we add tools to make changes to the content we would need to find perfect matches, paragraphs or blocks which have the same attributes and precisely the same XML structure.

Hi Alin,

I have just tested the add-on and I like the Find Similar Content feature. Next question is, of course, whether there is some kind of clever feature to turn (or transform) all of these elements in the Results pane into a conkeyref and replace the identical content in one go. ;-)

Kind regards

Yves
