About revisions.

Revision creation adds a new revision to your product with the structure and meta data choices from previous revisions, if any exist. The new revision will be in Draft state and can be edited at any time. During Manual revision creation, you set up the revision structure manually by selecting choices for metadata elements like DocumentTypes and languages, and creating Documents for your documentation files.

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.

Process Overview

During manual revision creation, you select the possible metadata choices like languages and DocumentTypes. Then you set up the Documents for the revision structure and upload and assign files.

1) Select Languages: Determine the available language choices in your revision. Only languages or language variants that you select during this step will be displayed later in your revision as possible localizations to assign files to. Learn more.
2) Select DocumentTypes: Determine the available choices for the DocumentType in your revision. Only DocumentTypes that you select during this step will be displayed later in your revision metadata to streamline the Document creation process. Learn more.
3) Create Component: Determine the available choices for the Components in your revision. Only Components that you create or select during this step will be displayed later in your revision as metadata or to categorize Documents in the revision panel. Learn more.
