To view any version, click its title. When you do, the Content History window appears for that content.

The Content Version Number

Ektron CMS400.NET assigns a unique number to each saved version of a content block. The number is increased by one tenth if the content is checked in but not published. If the content is published, the next whole number is assigned.

For example, if the current version is 1.0 and you check in that content, the new version is 1.1. If the next editor publishes it, the new version is 2.0.

If content versions are purged, the numbering scheme restarts with the remaining content.

The Detail History Window

The left side redisplays information from the content history window. See Also: The Content History Window
