Hi! I'm very new to Oxygen but I'm preparing for the next job I'm starting in a couple of weeks using it. Around 17:00 minutes, you talk about inserting topics into the DITA map. Lets say I have DITA Map A and DITA Map B. Lets say I have Topic 1 that I have created and written in DITA Map A. If I wanted to single source Topic 1 and insert the already written Topic 1 into DITA Map B, is that possible? I haven't finished the webinar, but I'm just writing questions as I go.

one question you mention in the validation of the publication this "'Reference to resource outside of main DITA map folder may produce potential publishing problems'' this refers to the location of files not in the same place where the map is. But why if we want to be more organized and locate maps with maps, topics with topics and figures with figures in separate folders?
