The Product Page provides a detailed view of your product and serves as a control unit for the product's revisions, settings, and theme in the EnduraDocs Viewer and Documentation Portal. Here, you can manage revisions and product settings, and share access to its published revision in the EnduraDocs Viewer. 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.
- Create and edit revisions.
- Edit product settings to reflect developments on the device it represents.
- Progress the revision workflow by reviewing and publishing revisions.
- Share access to the product in the EnduraDocs Viewer.
About Revisions
Revisions are like a snapshot of the uploaded documentation on a
product. It contains documentation files of the product in the current version
sorted according to the structure of 
Documents you set up. Products can have multiple revisions in different states,
just as documentation files can have multiple versions. However, only the latest
published revision of a product is accessible to the operating personnel in the
EnduraDocs Viewer or Documentation Portal.
Revision Creation Options
- Manual Creation
- Set up the revision structure manually by selecting
choices for metadata elements like DocumentTypes and languages, and creating Documents for your documentation files.

- Based on iiRDS Archive
- Upload When you provide an Archive the
EnduraDocs Manager will set up your revision automatically. All
compatible InformationUnits and metadata from your Archive are adopted for the revision, and you
end up with a complete revision, provided your Archive
contained all necessary files.

Revision Workflow
The revision workflow describes the progression of a revision from its
creation to its publishing, with all the states and transitions it undergoes. The state
of newly created revisions is Draft. Once an Editor finalizes a revision 
, its state is promoted to
Review. Users with at least a Reviewer role
can either reject 
the
revision to demote its state and the product state to Draft, or
approve the revision 
to
promote its state and the product state to Approved. Once a Reviewer or Admin publishes an approved revision
, it's state and the
product state are promoted to Processing while its documentation files
are uploaded. Once the upload is completed, the revision and product state are
automatically promoted to Online.
| State | Description | Tasks | Related Product State(s) |
