Comment 1 Brad Buckingham 2016-09-12 14:36:27 UTC
The current behavior is the following:

1. publishing a new version of a content view, increments the major version (e.g. 1.0, 2.0, 3.0...etc)

2. publishing an incremental update of a content view, increments the minor version (e.g. 2.1, 2.2, 2.3...etc)

Does that help?

In addition, when publishing a new version of a content view, the user can provide a description which may help with identification of what a particular version represents.

Hi Brad,

Yes, that was very helpful. I sent the customer the steps to accomplish this outlined in the below document (I did not see more detailed steps in our installation/user guides):

~~~
The process for creating incremental updates is outlined below (page 279):

~~~

Thank you again for your assistance with this.

Rick
