Oracle9iAS Portal lets you select the level of item versioning you want to use for items in a page group. Item versioning determines what happens to the old version of an item when a new version is added.
Users with Manage privileges on a page can override the item versioning level for the page. However, they can only provide a higher level of item versioning, not a lower level. For example, if you set item versioning for a page group to Simple, item versioning for pages within the page group can be set to Audit, but not to None.
To
set the item versioning level for a page group, you must have at
least one of the following privileges:
Manage All privileges on the page group
Manage All global privileges on All Page Groups
In the Navigator, click Properties next to the page group with which you want to work.
Click the Items tab.
In the Item Versioning radio group, select:
None to completely replace the item's previous version when editing an item. If you choose this option, none of the item's previous versions are retained in the database
Simple to offer the content contributor a choice of completely replacing the item's previous version or creating a new version when editing an item. If the contributor chooses the latter, all the item's previous versions are retained in the database.
Audit to always create a new version when editing an item. If you choose this option, all the item's previous versions are retained in the database.
Click OK to return to the Navigator.
