Creating a New Release

After a document has been released to the next production stage, it may be required to carry out additional modifications to the document, even though it has been released. In this case, a document assigned a Released status can only be taken out of the vault by carrying out a New Release operation. This operation will automatically create a new revision for the document.

You can perform a Release lifecycle operation on a document that is assigned one of the following states:

  • New
  • Checked In
  • Checked Out

 

 

  1. Select SmarTeam > Life Cycle >   New Release.
    The     New Release dialog box is displayed.

  2. Fill in the fields as described in Check Out Dialog Box, or accept the default attributes.

  3. Click OK to confirm the Release operation and exit the dialog box.
    The document is released to the SmarTeam vault. The status of the document is changed to "Checked Out". You can then modify the document.
