Versioning
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
Knowledge workers often have difficulty collaborating with others on documents, controlling access to those documents, and publishing documents in their organization Further, important documents can be lost, overwritten, or hard to find As a workspace author, Microsoft® SharePoint™ Portal
Server 2001 enables you to effectively manage important documents by providing document management features, such as version control and document publishing, and taxonomy features, such as document profiles and categories
After completing this module, you will be able to:
Administer document versioning in the workspace
Populate document folders, and move and copy content between folders
In this module, you will learn
about adding documents to
the configured workspace

Versioning
History
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
Versioning is a key feature of robust document management It provides a version history that enables you to review the changes that have occurred to a document over time As an author, you use versioning to record the latest version of a document, and you use the version history to maintain copies of previous versions
Topic Objective
To outline this topic
Lead-in
Versioning provides a
history of the changes that
were made to a document
that is stored in an
enhanced document folder
Trang 9Using Document Versioning to Record Document History
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
In a collaborative workgroup, versioning is an effective tool for tracking revisions to documents that are stored in the workspace
Using the Publishing Verbs
Enhanced folders support versioning by requiring users to check in and check out document versions Because a document must be checked out to be edited, the possibility of a user overwriting another user’s modifications is eliminated
Document versioning uses publishing verbs to carry out the following check in,
check out, and publish actions
Check in Action
Each check in action converts the working copy to an additional draft version
that is stored in the workspace and is available to other authors for that folder Readers do not see this version (readers can view only folders and published versions of documents), and it is not included in search results When checking
in a document, an author can choose to publish the document and initiate an approval process if the folder is configured to require approval before publishing, or to leave the document checked in to enable other workgroup members to perform additional editing
Check out Action
After an initial check in, each subsequent check out action creates a working
copy of the document that is a child of the previous version After an author checks out a document to a local hard drive, the document cannot be checked out to any other author until the document is checked back in; other authors have read-only access to the last checked in version of the document
demonstration of the check
in, check out, and publish
actions by using the File
menu from an Office
application and by using the
shortcut menu that appears
when you right-click a
document in a Web folder
Emphasize to students that
readers can see only the
current version of the
published document
Trang 10Publish Action
The publish action creates a new primary version and sets it as the default approved version The most recently published version of a document is the version that is displayed in search results and the version that readers can view
When a document is added to the workspace, it appears in the Checked out state Because the document has not been previously checked in or published, it initially exists as version 0.0 A document must be checked in before it can be published
Accessing the Publishing Verbs
Users can access the publishing verbs to perform the check in, check out, publish, and approval-specific actions from several locations
Accessing with Client Components Installed
On a computer that has the client components of SharePoint Portal Server installed, access the publishing verbs from one of the following locations:
From File menu in a Microsoft Office application
From the menu that appears when you right-click a document in a SharePoint Portal Server Web folder
Accessing without Client Components Installed
On a computer that does not have the required platform or the client components of SharePoint Portal Server installed, access the publishing verbs from the dashboard site
You must use the Web folders view of the workspace to access the publishing verbs The verbs are not available when you use Microsoft Windows® Explorer to access documents through the Web Storage System Never use Installable File System (IFS) to access and modify documents directly

Prim ary Vers ion
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
SharePoint Portal Server implements a simple two-level versioning model In version control systems that are built on the two-level versioning model, such
as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe®, each document can have the following two version series:
public use and thereby viewable by readers However, only the most recently published version appears in search results and can be viewed by readers
authors editing the document
For example, a document that has been published four times and then checked
in three times by an author since the last time it was published has reached version 4.3
Version tree branching is not supported Documents follow a single version path and SharePoint Portal Server maintains a version history for documents that are stored in enhanced document folders
model, each document has
a primary (public) version
series, and each primary
version may have a
secondary (draft) version
series
Provide the students with an
example of a document
version number For
instance, describe how a
document may have
reached version number 4.3
(there were three sets of
versions since the fourth
publishing) Explain that for
users with access rights on
the document folder,
readers see version 4.0 (last
published version) and
authors see version 4.3
Let students know that a
discussion of version history
is coming up shortly
Note
Demonstrate how readers
can view the primary version
series, but only authors can
view and edit the secondary
version series
Trang 12Viewing Previous Document Versions
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
You can view previous versions of a document by accessing the document history that is maintained by SharePoint Portal Server To view the previous versions of a document, use the Web folders view of the workspace to locate
the document, open the Properties page of the document, and then click the
Versions tab
Each document listed in the version history enables you to view:
The actual document version
The date and time that the document version was created (checked in or published)
The name of the user who created the document version
Any version comments that were specified at the time of check in
The document profile that was specified at the time of check in
Document versions are stored in a shadow folder in the root of the workspace
To view a previous version
of a document, use the Web
folders view of the
workspace to locate the
document, open the
Properties page of the
document, and then click
the Versions tab
Demonstrate how to view
previous versions of a
document, and point out the
information that is recorded
in the version history
Note
Trang 13Configuring Version Pruning
Use the Workspace Settings tool in the Management folder to access the General tab of the Properties page
of the workspace
When setting an unlimited value, the server does not perform version pruning
When setting a specified value, the server applies the policy during all subsequent publishing operations
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
As the coordinator at the workspace level, you may need to perform version management tasks, such as pruning (purging) document versions from the version history Because SharePoint Portal Server stores a full-text version of each document, not just the revised text, a considerable amount of disk space is used for storage To avoid accumulating old document versions that are no
longer useful, limit the number of major versions (primary or published versions with the numbering format n.0) by configuring version pruning
Configuring Version Pruning
You can configure version pruning by using the Workspace Settings tool in the
Management folder to access the General tab of the Properties page of the
workspace
Setting the Version Pruning Value
The number of major versions that are retained per document can be a value of
1 to 999; the default value is unlimited You specify that you would like to
include a maximum number of versions by selecting a check box to enable the maximum values box The value that you enter in the maximum values box determines the number of previous major versions that are retained Each time a document is published or approved, the server checks the value and
permanently deletes old major versions as appropriate The value that you set
does not affect how many minor versions (draft versions with the numbering format n.n) are retained, only the number of major versions
Setting an Unlimited Value
If the value is unlimited, the server does not perform version pruning
Therefore, an infinite number of older major versions are retained
pruning, use the
Workspace Settings tool in
the Management folder to
access the General tab of
the Properties page of the
workspace
Demonstrate how to
configure version pruning by
using the Workspace
Settings tool
Trang 14Setting a Specified Value
When you specify a value, which replaces the default value of unlimited, or change the specified value to a lower number, the server applies the policy during all subsequent publishing operations
When you specify a new version pruning value, SharePoint Portal Server does not check every document in the workspace to ensure that the number of major versions in the version history meets the new value requirement It applies the new value only when a document is published For example, if a document has 40 major revisions and you set the new value to 10, the number
of major revisions is not reduced until the next time the document is published
If you want to reduce the amount of disk space used to maintain the old versions of documents, you must force a publish operation for each document
in the workspace that violates the new policy
Note
Trang 15Understanding Version Naming
foo.docLUV = 3.1
Check - In
foo.docLUV = 3.2
Publish
foo.docLAV = 4.0
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
To keep track of the various versions of documents in an enhanced folder, SharePoint Portal Server uses a simple naming convention You will not see the numbered names when you view documents in Web folders These names are visible when you view the version history of a document
The file names of the various versions of a document are simply the document name, excluding the file extension, with the version identifier appended in parentheses Each check out raises the version number For example, version 3.1 of a document titled Sweaters 2000.doc is named
Sweaters 2000(3.1).doc, and the next working copy is named Sweaters 2000(3.2).doc
The principles of the versioning model are demonstrated in the following scenario in which LAV = Last Approved Version and LUV = Last Unapproved Version By default, readers see the LAV; if there is no LAV because it has never been published, readers will not see the document By default, authors, coordinators, and approvers see the LUV; if there is no LUV because it was created after the LAV, they see the LAV The following table describes a sample scenario and lists the LAV and LUV for each stage in the scenario
1 Don Hall creates a new document in an enhanced folder by using
the Save As command in Microsoft Word The document is then
in the Created/Checked Out state
None None
2 Don checks in the document from the File menu in Word The
document becomes version 1.0
None 0.1
3 Don then checks out the document and makes changes A copy of version 0.1 is created in the shadow folder, and version 0.2 is created as Don's working copy
None 0.1
4 Don checks in the document Version 0.2 becomes the LUV None 0.2
Topic Objective
To explain how SharePoint
Portal Server keeps track of
multiple versions of the
documents on the server
Lead-in
To keep track of the various
versions of the files that are
managed in an enhanced
folder, SharePoint Portal
Server uses a set of naming
conventions
Trang 16(continued)
5 Don then submits the document for approval, and the approval process takes over The approver, Kim Yoshida, cannot make any changes to the document; she can only approve or reject the document
None 0.2
6 Kim rejects the document None 0.2
7 Don checks out the document to update it with Kim’s input
Version 0.3 is created as Don's working copy
None 0.2
8 Don checks in the document and resubmits it for approval
Version 0.3 becomes the LUV
None 0.3
9 Kim approves the document The LUV, 0.3, becomes the LAV and is renamed version 1.0 Readers can now see the LAV At this point, the shadow folder contains versions 0.1 and 1.0
1.0 None
10 Don checks out the document again to update it Version 1.1 is created as Don’s working copy
1.0 1.0
11 Don checks in the document and submits it for approval 1.0 1.1
12 Kim approves the updates The shadow folder now contains versions: 0.1, 1.0, and 2.0
2.0 None
Trang 17Managing Content and Document Folders
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE****************************
Now that you understand the importance of document versioning as a method for tracking the revision history of documents that are stored in the workspace,
it is important to understand the process of adding documents to the workspace
Topic Objective
To outline this topic
Lead-in
Managing content and
document folders entails
moving, copying, and
adding documents to folders
as well as managing,
creating, and applying
document profiles
Trang 18Populating Document Folders
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
The methods for populating document folders are the same for both standard and enhanced folders There are three possible methods
Using a Drag-and-Drop Operation
You can use a drag-and-drop operation to move or copy a document, or folder, from your desktop to the workspace To accomplish this, open Windows Explorer in one window and in another window, open the Web folders view of the workspace by using My Network Places You can then use a drag-and-drop operation to copy the files or folders from the Windows Explorer window to the appropriate Web folder in the workspace
Using a Microsoft Office Application
You can use Microsoft Word 2000, Microsoft Excel 2000, or Microsoft PowerPoint® 2000 to add documents to the workspace
Adding a New Document to the Workspace
To add a new document to the workspace, create the document by using Word,
Excel, or PowerPoint, and then use the Save command on the File menu to add
the document to the appropriate folder in the workspace
Adding an Existing Document to a Workspace Folder
You can use Word, Excel, or PowerPoint to add an existing document to a
workspace folder by first opening the document and then using the Save As command rather than the Save command
Topic Objective
To present the three
methods that are used to
populate document folders
Lead-in
Three methods are available
for populating document
folders
Demonstrate how to use a
drag-and-drop operation to
copy a folder into the
workspace Inform students
that bulk moves are covered
later in this module
Demonstrate how to add a
Word file to the workspace
Trang 19Office Thickets
Thickets are the set of files and folders that are created when you save a
document by using the Save as Web Page command in an Office application
Office thickets are supported on standard folders only You cannot configure security for a thicket subfolder Enhanced folders do not support any structures similar to thickets, that is, HTML files with relative links If you attempt to check in a thicket to an enhanced folder, SharePoint Portal Server displays an error message
To save a thicket to an enhanced folder, you can use the Office 2000 Web Archive add-on, which allows you to save a document as a Web page to a single file by using the MIME HTML (MHTML) standard For more information about saving thickets, see the knowledge base white paper at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q252/4/72.asp
Using the Dashboard Site
You can add a document to the workspace while you are viewing the dashboard
site by using the Add a New Document command
To add a document to the workspace by using the dashboard site:
1 On the dashboard site, click Documents on the navigation bar at the top of
the dashboard site home page
2 View the folders and documents that are available from this page under the Document Library heading The folders and documents that appear depend
on your access permissions You see only the folders and documents to which you have appropriate access permissions
3 Click the folder or subfolder to which you want to add a document
4 Click Add Document
5 Under the Document File Name heading, enter the location of the
document that you want to add to the workspace
To browse for the document, click Browse
6 If you are adding the document to an enhanced folder, you will have the following two options:
• If you want to add the document to the folder but do not want to publish
it yet, click Check in the document If you check in the document,
authors in the folder can view and edit it It will not appear in search results or categories until it is published
• If you want to publish the document, click Publish the document If
you publish the document, readers in the workspace will be able to view
it if no approval process is pending If an approval process is pending, the document must be approved before readers can view it
7 Click OK
Tip
Demonstrate how to use the
dashboard site to add a
Word document to the
workspace
Trang 20Applying Document Profiles
*****************************ILLEGAL FOR NON-TRAINER USE*****************************
Every document in the workspace is associated with a document profile The information in a document profile is used to help identify the document more clearly By default, a document profile includes basic properties, such as title and author, but properties can easily be customized to capture additional information that makes it easier to organize and find documents
Authors can access a document profile by opening the Properties page of the
document In an enhanced folder, authors can also access the document profile
from the check in form By filling in values on the Profile tab on the
Properties page of the document, an author can supply information about the
document
Profiles are presented to the user by means of a profile form (pubform.asp) A profile form is an Active Server Pages (ASP) page that contains fields for entering the properties of a document profile that is displayed when a user checks in a document to an enhanced folder or adds a document to a standard folder Although the default document profile for the folder is displayed, the user can easily select any other available profile and the form will immediately display that the properties associated with that profile When checking in a document to an enhanced folder, the user can optionally select a check box on the form to publish the document when the form data is saved The user can also select publish as a separate action after check in is completed
Users should be strongly advised against trying to customize the ASP page, pubform.asp, that launches the forms Modifying pubform.asp is
unsupported and can impair the ability to upgrade to future versions
The profile form is displayed identically whether the user is performing the check in by using Web folders, an Office application, or the dashboard site Accessing the form is slightly different, however, depending on which interface you use and what type of folder the document resides in
Document profiles are
associated with every
document in the workspace,
and help to keep your
workspace organized
Caution
