Checking for newer versions of objects in the baseline

Last Updated : Sep 08, 2017 |

You can use the baseline tab to check for objects that contain a newer version. Objects in the baseline can include topics, maps, or images. Use this procedure to identify whether you need to use the latest versions of the objects for your publication. This is especially important if you are reusing the common content.

Procedure

  1. Open the publication in Publication Manager.
  2. Click the Baseline tab.
  3. Click Newer Version column heading to sort the baseline report.

    All objects for which a newer version is available are grouped together. The New Version column displays Yes if a newer version of the object exists or No if the latest version is already used in the publication.

  4. To locate a specific object in the publication, select the object, and then click Locate in the tool bar or right-click, and select Locate in Repository.

    The system displays the content pane, and selects the object in the publication tree.

  5. In the upper-right pane, view the Changes column to determine whether the newer version applies to your specific release.

    The Changes column provides a description of the change or product release number for which the changes apply.

Next Steps

If a newer version applies to your release, go to Changing the version of an object used in a publication.
