What Are Products?
In the EnduraDocs Manager, a product represents a device from your portfolio. A product serves as a container for all the documentation files of its corresponding device, similar to a folder in a file system. Each product belongs to one workspace and is found in the Product Explorer.
Product States
Product states reflect the progress of the latest revision in the revision workflow. When your revision progresses in the workflow, the product state is updated automatically, so you are always informed of the current progress of the revision. Previously created and published revisions do not influence the product state.
