Version information

This topic describes the structure of a version XML file.

When you create a version, you specify the following fields:
  • Version name
  • Version description
You can also enter information into other fields, such as the version alias, when you edit the version file. They are described below.
Note: Some of the fields must not be modified manually (such as the containers that a version contains), otherwise the Content Store will be corrupted. Please contact IXIASOFT before modifying the version file manually.
