Publish updates to your library files from the Drafts monitor.
About this task
When you download a library file and edit it, a notification
message in the system tray informs you that a new local draft was
created. You can view all of your library files in the draft state
from the Library Drafts Monitor. From the monitor, you can open a
draft, publish your file changes, or delete a draft. You can have
two kind of drafts: local drafts and remote drafts (simply referred
to as drafts.)
Drafts are created as follows:
- A draft is created when you check out a file from the server.
- A local draft is created when you modify the draft so that the
local draft now differs from the server file.
When you have a local draft, you can upload the changes
to update the server copy and delete the local draft, or check it
in as a new version, which also removes the local draft.
Procedure
To view and manage library files in a draft state, click
the HCL Connections icon in the system tray, choose View
Library Drafts, navigate to the library, and do one of
the following actions:
- Double-click the file name to open the local copy.
- Right-click a draft and choose to upload the updated
file and update the draft on the server.
- Right-click a draft and choose to upload
the updated file with a new name and make it available to library
users.
Note: If review workflow is enabled for this library,
use the option to submit a draft
for review.
- Delete draft permanently removes
the draft and the corresponding local draft (if one exists) if you
no longer want to update the file. Deleting a draft does not affect
the published version of the library file but it will no longer be
in a checked-out state.
- Delete local draft permanently removes
the local draft. Deleting a local draft does not affect the published
version of the library file nor the draft version on the server (if
one exists).
