Creating Multi-version Manual
You can easily create a multi-version manual for different versions of your software. The main specific of a multi-version manual is that you don't update the previous version of your manual but you create a new one. Here is how it works in ClickHelp:
- Imagine you have a project called My Software Documentation, and you need to create different versions of this document.
- Click Publish, select Create a new publication to create a new version, and specify the version number, e.g., in the Publication name field.
- So, you need to create a new publication for each version.
Here is an example of how it may look:
This approach is convenient since your users can open the necessary version from the version selector that is typically displayed at the top.
Note | |
Currently, the most recently published version is displayed at the bottom of the version selector. |
