I want to download a particular section of the documentation, and while I can select the ‘PDF more pages’ option at the top level I then have to select each individual page to be included in the export. This gets very tedious for a large section.
I’m looking for a way where when you select the ‘top’ page, all subpages are selected by default.
Can this be done?

Thanks for the feedback, Skarra!
The PDF multi-select feature that you describe in your post is something we are actually working on as a feature improvement for the documentation site. We should have this feature added to the Commvault documentation site very soon. But in the meantime, if you want to preview how the PDF multi-select feature works, you can try it out the Metallic documentation site (https://docs.metallic.io):
The new PDF generation backend should also be faster and includes a hierarchical outline of the pages in order with respect to how they are ordered in the documentation site navigation.
If you get a chance to check out how the feature works on the Metallic site, we’d love to hear what you think.
Again, thanks for your feedback!
+3Hi SKarra,
Yes, there is an option to select multiple section and download as PDF.
On any page, select the PDF icon and select “PDF more pages”. You will see the left column now display checkboxes to select multiple sections as per screen below.
Hope this helps.

Thank you Venu.
Problem is that if I want the entire “Deployment” section for example, I can’t just click the box in front of Deployment. I have to click that and then every section under that -
“Downloading the Commvault Software”,
“Downloading the Commvault Software Using the Download Manager”,
“Downloading the Commvault Software Using the CommCell Console”,
“Other Software and Packages”.
Then before I hit the download button, I have to expand each one of those sections and select all their sections.
It gets VERY tedious
Onno van den Berg highlighted this problem about a year ago in the hope we would have a better solution, but it doesn’t sound like we have one.

Excellent. The Metallic document generation process works as I need it to work - hopefully we’ll see this in the Commvault docs soon. And it’s much faster.
