Last Updated : Jun 05, 2018 |
Prolog information
You can change properties of topics, maps, or images in bulk from a browse repository or the baseline of the publication.
Note:
You can also use the procedure to release only some topics, maps, and images. To release all objects in the publication, use the workflow on the web interface.
Before you begin
You require a doc lead role to change the metadata in bulk.
For doc lead role, get an approval for the doc lead role from your lead or manager, and open a DITA ticket and request for doc lead role.
  1. Start Publication Manager, and navigate to the project folder.
  2. From Browse Repository or the Baseline tab of the publication, select objects of same type whose values you want to change.
    For example, you can select multiple topics.
  3. Right-click and select Properties.
  4. On the Properties of Multiple Objects dialog box, change the field values as appropriate in General, Version, Workflow, and Avaya-specific fields tabs.
    STEP RESULT:
    Important:
    Tridion Docs overwrites the existing values with new values.
  5. Click Yes to confirm the action.
    STEP RESULT:
    The system displays a message Update Completed with <n> errors, and lists the objects that could not be modified. You must click Close.
    Correct the error and modify the object properties again.
