Versions ????

[sankatha]

Hi All

I have the versioning aspect turned on and the cm:autoVersion switched off in the contentModel.xml for all the documents. What I am trying to achieve is the following

1. Privileged users can upload documents and it will be the initial version (Version 1.0, which works)
2. Privileged users can edit the document using an inline editor (I have applied the inline editable aspect as well and it is working too)
3. If needed the privileged user can make a new revision/version of the document (minor or major), add a comment and save it so the new version will be either 1.1 or 2.0 etc

How on earth I can do the third step (does Alfresco support that) ? I am using share to access the repo and cannot find anything where it allows me to do this apart from the upload new version of the file button which is not I am looking for. Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated. Sorry I am very new to alfresco so please do explain it a bit.

Thanks

Hi Sankatha,
the only way to version your docs and to leave a version comment I know of is to check-out and to check-in. During check-in you can choose the numbering (major/minor) and you can leave a comment.

Thank you very much heiko.robert. Well in that case is there a possibility where I can checkout (edit offline) and use an inline editor to change the doc and check it back again ? Any lead will be greatly appreciated

inline editing is available for Text docs (Text, HTML). You can activate a doc for inline editing by cklicking on 'inline editable' in the details view. This will add the aspect for inline editable.

Ok ! Thanks for the quick reply. I will be a little descriptive. What I want to do is the following

1. Upload a text file (I have two rules created so it has inline editable aspect and versionable aspect and I have turned off the autoVersioning)
2. I need to checkout the file (I presume I do it by clicking on the edit offline link, which will lock the content and allow me to download a copy of the current version of the file. So obviously I can edit the downloaded file offline and upload the new version and add a comment to it)

What I want to to do instead of step 2 is to edit the file online using a inline editor and check in that inline edited version as a new version instead of downloading and editing it. Is this possible to do in Alfresco ? Hope I am clear enough. Again sorry for lack of my knowledge in Alfresco
