Enabling or disabling versioning

Each time a document of a class is checked out, Content Platform Engine creates another version of it. Versioning is automatically enabled for a class, but you can disable it.

About this task

When you create a document that uses a class with versioning disabled, that document is permanently non-versionable, it can never be checked out, and it cannot be converted into a document with versioning enabled. There is always only one document version in its version series.

Important: Any change you make to versioning is not available to existing documents that are assigned to the class until you refresh the object store. For client applications or web servers, reconnect to the object store to apply the change to existing documents.
Important: Disabling the versioning of a document class is not the same as freezing a single document version.

Procedure

To enable or disable versioning of a document class:

  1. In the administration console, access the class that you want to disable versioning for:
    1. In the domain navigation pane, select the object store.
    2. In the object store navigation pane, click the Data Design > Classes folder and click the class.
  2. On the General tab, clear the Support Versioning check box.
