Work with version management

Prev Next

Note

By default, version management is not enabled. If you want to use it, contact your Grassfish partner.  

Version management allows you to create draft versions of spots.

Prerequisites

Before you work with different spot versions, read the following important information:

  • You need writing permission for the spot group to see, create, and edit draft versions of spots.

  • You can only edit a spot if it's checked out in editing mode.

  • Releasing a draft can't be undone. If in doubt, create an unversioned copy or a local copy by uploading a spot.

  • You can't use spots with active version management task lists.

Enable version management

To enable version management for a spot, perform the following steps:

  1. In IXM One, go to Content > Playlist.

  2. In the Selectable spots pane, select one or more spots.

  3. Click   Edit properties.            

  4. Select Activate version management.
