Versioning - 4.0.0.0

Versions are the separate statuses the asset and the file related go through. When a change occurs to an asset or the related file it is count as a version. These statuses are considered as old information and they are kept so that can be restored at any moment, if required. If versifying option is active for an asset, “V” letter turns on its icon (same like “S”, “P” and so on).

If you choose the Show Versions option from the asset’s context menu, it will open a window with all the versions available for the current asset – it reflects all the changes made with the asset and the related file. The older is the version, the upper it is listed. New versions are appended at the end of the list. The first line of the text listed explains shortly what change generated this version exactly.

As seen from the screenshot, you can:

- Delete a selected version (this process is applicable only for metadata versions and such, related to the source file)

-Locate the asset in the project

- Revert back to this version (which will cancel the changes made after it).

- Show the differences in the metadata with the previous version.

With the All Versions check you will preview all the changes made.

If only the File Versions check is left on, it will show all the versions related to the asset’s file only. A file version is also the change of the source file – if you choose to select the old source as a version. This is already explained at Versioning Options .

Asset versions check will filter only the changes with the asset (f.e. when copying an asset inside the same project. The new asset performs versioning of the old one).

If only the Metadata Versions check is applied it will list the versions generated due to metadata changes. To see the Metadata Versions, before that you must “tell” Metus MAM to log them in this form, also. Metadata Versions menu is activated from the asset’s context menu -> Properties -> Turn on Metadata Versioning .

After checking this option , a pop-up window will appear and ask for ;

You need to click Yes for applying.
