Authoring a Document

The document appears in the working documents library as soon as the Smart Document is submitted. The created document will have a version of 0.1 and a lifecycle Status of Draft.

To author the document:

1. Click on the document name to open the document
2. When prompted, select Check Out and Edit from the Open Document dialog and click OK
3. Author the content of the document
4. After authoring is completed, close and save the document
5. Enter comments in the Version Comments textbox on the Check In dialog box
6. Click OK

Once the above steps are performed, the document is checked in with a new minor version. The author can check out the document to add content or to modify the properties as often as needed in the draft lifecycle stage. The version number is incremented to the next minor version each time the content or the properties are modified.
