  - Overview
    The IXIASOFT Dynamic Release Management (DRM) module allows technical publication teams to easily manage the documentation for multiple products across multiple release cycles.
  - Implementing and using IXIASOFT Dynamic Release Management
    Implementing and using IXIASOFT Dynamic Release Management in your deployment involves the following steps:
  - Understanding containers
    The DRM implementation is supported by a DITA map specialization called container.
  - Understanding DRM libraries
    A library is a collection of objects that can be shared between different product versions.
  - Understanding multi-level libraries
    Multi-level libraries allow documentation organizations to organize their content libraries in layers so that they match the product architecture.
  - Use libraries in your documents
    Libraries contain topics that can be shared between different product in the DRM. To use libraries, you first create the initial library structure, the same way that you create a product structure.
  - Working on multiple documentation versions in parallel
    Branching and updating previous versions allow you to work on multiple documentation versions in parallel.
  - Associate DRM files with an XML editor
    When you create a product, library, release, or version, IXIASOFT CCMS creates an XML file that defines that product, library, release, or version.
  - Displaying the IXIASOFT Dynamic Release Management view
    The IXIASOFT Dynamic Release Management view lists the products, libraries, releases, and versions that are configured for your deployment.
- Set up the documentation structure
  Before writers can add objects (maps, topics, images, resources) to IXIASOFT CCMS, the documentation structure must be set up.
- Add the documentation to versions
  When the documentation structure is set up, writers can add content to versions.
