    Sharing a read-only version to user(s) from another organisation, or shared with a separate organisation – two snapshot versions are created, both the same: one is associated to the document version series it came from and will be called: 'Shared externally'; the other appears as a Significant Version on the right-hand side of the ‘Project’ tab and this is the version that the external user/organisation will be able to see

    Publishing a version – a snapshot version is created and will be called: 'Published'; a Significant Version is also created on the right-hand side of the ‘Project’ tab and this is the version that all users in the system will be able to see

    Auto-saving - the system will auto-save your document in the background whilst you are editing for recovery purposes should there be any connectivity issues.  This auto-save will create a temporary snapshot version only visible to the user who is making the edits and will be deleted whenever the user successfully saves their changes back to the working version.  

Introduction

How to rename a folder

Hints and tips

  • Clicking on the black triangle next to the sub-heading will expand the view of working versions in this group; or collapse the heading so that working versions are not visible.

  • The document tiles are coloured green if you have edit rights and grey when you only have read-only access.

  • Significant versions appear on the right-hand side and are documents that have been published (Bills only), submitted to the National Archive’s Publishing System or shared with a user/organisation who is external to your organisation.  

    • The content of these versions is locked to maintain data integrity of these version 

  • Working versions appear on the left-hand side and are editable (subject to document permissions)

    • Clicking on the black triangle on a working version will expand the view of any snapshot versions related to this document version series; or hide the snapshot versions

  • Snapshot versions appear under the working version they relate to.  By default, they are not shown but clicking on the black triangle next to the working version description will show a list of snapshot versions sorted in chronological order. They are most commonly generated automatically when users generate a pdf or download a document bundle to capture the XML at that point in time.   But they can also be generated manually from the editor (see “Save a snapshot version”). 

  • For more information on document versions, see ‘annex 5 – document versions’.

  • Documents are grouped into folders and can be moved between folders
