How to change Globally Shared Properties

[ikondrasovas]

On the template system introduction tutorial, down at the end there is a topic about Globally Shared Properties.

I would like to modify for example __global.backToTop and localize it to a specific language, but I could not make it at the end.

Can you please extend a bit the explanation (maybe with an example) on how to have and use this global.json file?

Thanks!

If this meets what you're asking...

Run docfx template export and go to _exported_templates/default/token.json.
Put a copy of token.json at the root of your template (which, when added, probably will look something like templates/your-template/token.json). This overrides the token.json in the default template, as long as your docfx.json looks something like:

"template": [
    "default",
    "templates/your-template"
]

In token.json is a line backToTop: Back to top. Change Back to top to whatever your want.
