Version Links
Version Links is a feature that allows you to create multiple saved versions of a Space.
Let's say you have a Developer Guide space, but soon enough, you release different versions of that product.
To keep the history and backward compatibility, you have to crate a new version to save the current content inย Developer Guide v1.0, and rename the default main version space to Developer Guide - Current Version or Developer Guide - v2.0 (depends how you preffer) and continue to update the content in this main version.
The same rule will apply when you want to create the next version. You have to save the current content in a new version in Developer Guide v2.0, and keep working in Developer Guide - Current Version or Developer Guide - v3.0 (depends how you preffer) for new updates.
The created versions should be onlyย clonesย of the default main version space you are trying to fork from.ย
Click on the gear icon โ๏ธ for settings, then go to the Version Links tab under Space Connections section.
Enable the version link feature for that space (if you ar trying to save the first version).
โน๏ธ For public documentations
Make sure your documentation is Public and visible to everyone, before you start creating version links.
Select the space you want to clone from. You can select:
- the main version - if you want to create a new version from the current main version;
- or children (previous versions) - if you want to create an updated of an old version (if your last created version is v5.0 and you want to create v2.1, you have to select v2.0 as a starting point).
๐จ Attention!
The main version space is where you should work on your content. It is the latest version of your space.
When you create a new version, you're essentially saving a snapshot of your current work. Any changes you make from this point should be on the main version.
Add a label for your new saved snapshot version.
For exemple, before you start updating the main version space to 'version 3' with the new content, you save a copy of the current version as 'version 2'. This will let you keep track of your changes and go back to the previous version if needed.
Select the space language. You can choose the following languages:
- ๐บ๐ธ English
- ๐ซ๐ท French
- ๐ฉ๐ช German
- ๐ช๐ธ Spanish
- ๐ฎ๐น Italian
- ๐ต๐น Portuquese
- ๐ท๐บ Russian
- ๐ฐ๐ท Korean
- ๐น๐ญ Thai
- ๐จ๐ณ Chinese
- ๐ฎ๐ฉ Indonesian
Hit the "+ Create Version" button to create this new saved snapshot version.
Based on the above example, this created snapshot version will have the given name in Step 4 ("version2" in this case).
Repeat the steps from 3 to 6 until you add create your desired structure.
Exit the Space Settings window and publish the space, and they'll be propagated.
๐ง Remember!
You have to publish all versions in order to be visible on the public documentation.
Once you have created a new version, your spaces will be grouped in your Side Navigation and display the label you provided. This way, you will always be able to spot Spaces with multiple versions and find them in a single place.
Once published, you can see the changes in public spaces. The versions will be displayed based on the context. If the Space does contain a Space Link and also has multiple versions, it will be displayed in the Space Link Tab.
Once published you will be able to see the changes on public spaces. Here's how it looks for your readers:
