Release Process

The release process for topics and publications is part of the Version Management in Paligo. For more information about workflow concerning assignments, see About Collaboration.

Each time content is released (both major and minor), an exact copy of that version (with all its topics and other resources), called a snapshot, is saved and archived. The snapshot can be downloaded or restored in the Resource View Paligo.

Snapshots can also be created by a contributor during an assignment or be manually created at any time via the Resource View.

The snapshot number is shown to the left of the archived version.

  • 1.0.0 - The first number is stepped up for a major release. A major release consists of new features and / or large architectural changes.

  • 1.1.0 - The second number is stepped up for a minor release. A minor release makes significant improvements to the existing functions and smaller adjustments.

  • 1.1.1 - The third number is stepped up for a review or translation stage.

The workflow in Paligo consists of 5 stages connected to the Release Management, which steps up the version number for each stage. You change the workflow stage in the Resource View for the item:

  1. Work in progress - The initial stage of any topic or new version, for authoring and editing content.

  2. In review - For review and proofreading. When the document is in review, it is not locked, but marked as In review.

  3. In translation - For translating multilingual content. While the text is under translation, the topic is locked for editing.

  4. In translation review - For proofreading or post-editing translations in the translation editor.

  5. Released - The final version of the topic is locked for further editing and archived. To create a new version, it has to be set to Work in progress again. The archived snapshot will remain intact just as it was at that stage.
