Bulk versioning

Unread post by ingrid hughes »

Hello,

Is there any way to change the version of a group of related documents all at once. I have about 12 documents that all go out in each release. Some of them may not have changed at all since the previous release, but I need to change the version number to match the current release. So, I'm opening each document only to change the version number. Is it possible to do this automatically by only changing the version number in one place?

Hi Ingrid,

That is what the Version variables are for. They transport the 3 version numbers you enter in Common > Language, Title Version. There are a total of 4 variables:
  • <%VERSION%>: Combines all 3
  • <%VERSION_MAJOR%>: The major version, bevor the "."
  • <%VERSION_MINOR%>: The minor version, after the "."
  • <%VERSION_BUILD%>: The build version
See https://www.helpandmanual.com/help/hm_r ... lobal.html in the help for details.
