4.8.2 Creating a new version

You may create a new version of a document under version control as you would  Edit  or  Replace  ordinary documents.

If you edit a text document under version control directly on the server, a new version is created automatically. Its version information should be completed in order to inform the members of the workspace (see 4.8.3).

You explicitly create a new version of a document under version control as follows.

  • Select action menu   Revise  in the action menu of the document; this action replaces the action menu   Replace  action of ordinary documents.
  • The ‘Revise’ form lets you upload a file as the new version. The form further offers default values for the new version number and the version state. These values may be modified, e.g. an out-of-sequence version number may indicate that the current version is a significant change of the preceding version (see 4.8.3).
  • Entering instructive information in the field ‘Changes made in version version-number’ will help the members of the workspace understand the version history and later on to find a specific older version.
