Configure the Document link widget in multisite environment

To do this, use the dropdown menu in the upper-right corner of the window and select a provider.

For more information, see Multisite: Manage multiple sites.

Configure the Document link widget in multilingual environment

If your site is multilingual and the page you are editing is synchronized with another translation, when editing the widget, you can see a Save to all translations button. Once you click the button, the current widget configuration is saved to all translations. Otherwise, the widget configuration is saved just for the current translation. Pages are still synchronized. Thus, you can synchronize pages and have different widget configurations, but you cannot have different widgets.
