If components have changed, it is usually necessary to update the relevant documents. You have two options for doing this: Updating with and without a new version number.
Updating without version number
To do this, select Update document from the popup menu. The content of the document is updated, but no copy of the old versions is stored. One exception is the internal component versions (see following section Component Overview), which are changed.
Note: Updating without version number may be used if you have already created a new version and further revisions are necessary which do not require a separate version (e.g. correcting errors, provided the document has not yet been distributed).
Updating with version number
To do this, select Update document (with new version) from the pop-up menu. A dialogue appears, for you to input another Comment on current revision.
This results first of all in a new version of the document being created (see also under Create new document version) and then the content is completely updated.
Moved or renamed documents
Documents are often subsequently moved (e.g. to a server) or renamed for whatever reason. In these cases you have to change the data path.
To do this, select Change data path from the pop-up menu and select the new document folder.
CAUTION: Always take care only to change the name and directory, because other changes – such as of the type of file – are not recorded in the creation dates.
Display document
To do this, select Open document from the pop-up menu and select the desired document folder. The document is now opened in ProStructures or a suitable program.
Note: For certain types of document, e.g. PDF, you should however link the type of file with an appropriate program.
