Create a new version
A version contains the actual documentation objects.
When users add a new object, they must add it to a version. A version must therefore exist before content can be added to it, and the same content object can be used in more than one version.
You have three options for creating a new version:
- Creating a completely new, empty version.
- Creating a version based on an existing version. All the objects in the existing version are added to the new version. This option is displayed only if versions are available for the product or library.
- Creating a new version based on a version tag. All the objects in the version tag are added to the new version. This option is displayed only if tags are available for the product or library.
Versions have the file extension .version but they are XML files and so they can be most easily edited in your preferred XML editor. You should add a default editor to .version files in your Eclipse preferences so that the versions that you want to edit are opened automatically in your preferred editor.
