Item version control allows multiple versions of an item to simultaneously exist in the Oracle database. This feature is useful for tracking document changes from one version to the next or for reverting to a previous version if necessary. Portal provides item version control at the page group and page level.
Note: To change an item's version control option, you must be either a page owner or have the appropriate page or item-level privileges.
Navigate to the page that includes the item.
Note: If you do not see the page that you want to work with, you may not have the appropriate page access privileges. See your page group administrator to gain access.
Switch to Edit mode.
Locate the item that you want to change the version control option of
and click
beside the item.
On the Attributes tab, in the Item Version Control section, choose the item version control option you want to apply to this item.
Simple: If the item version control is set to Simple the following item version control options are available:
Add the item as a new version, but not as the current version
Add the item as a new version, and as the current version
Overwrite the current version with the uploaded version
Note: For the first two options, Portal maintains a record of the item's previous versions.
Audit: If the item version control is set to Audit, the following item version control options are available:
Add the item as a new version, but not as the current version
Add the item as a new version, and as the current version
Note: For both of these options, Portal maintains a record of the item's previous versions.
None: If the item version control is set to None, the Item Version Control section does not display for the item.
Click OK.
The Apply button will not be available in the edit (item) wizard when versioning is either set to Simple or Audit at the page group or page level.
