Creating a new version of a publication

Last Updated : Jun 09, 2020 |

About this task

Create a new version of a publication when you want to modify the publication after it has been released. The new version is a copy of the old version.

Important:

If you create a new version of a publication from a released version of the publication, all content in the new version is in a released state. You must create new versions of the objects that you want to edit. Also, if you publish the output immediately after creating a new version of a publication, you’ll notice that the Status is Release Candidate. This is because all of the objects are in the Released state. After you create a new version of any of the objects in the publication, the status changes to Draft the next time you publish it.

Procedure

  1. On the Publication Manager menu bar, click Publication > Open.
  2. In the Open Publication dialog box, browse to and select the folder where the publication is located.

    The publications in the folder are displayed in the right pane of the dialog box.

  3. Select the publication for which you are creating a new version, and then click Versions at the bottom-left of the page.

    The Select Version dialog box is displayed.

  4. Right-click the version from which to create a new version, and then click New Version.

    A new version is displayed in the Select Version dialog box.

  5. Click OK.
  6. Modify the properties of the new publication version if necessary.
