Working with Versions - OpenConceptLab/ocl_user_wiki GitHub Wiki
Overview
Versions are editions or revisions of resources that are tracked to manage all changes to the resources over time. Sources, concepts, collections can all be versioned for resource change management purposes.
Versions are created to save the state of a resource's data at a specific point in time.
A Released version indicates to users that a particular resource version is prepared for public consumption.
A Retired resource version indicates that it should no longer be used.
Creating a Version
- Navigate to your home page and click on the resource you want to version. In the example below, the resource is a Source. Once there, click on the Version tab
- Then click on New Source Version
- Enter the information about the source version you are adding. As much as possible, pay attention to the version naming suggestions and to the principles of semantic versioning
- Add your Source version!
Review the source version details
Managing a Version
Once you've created your resource version, you can Edit, Delete, Release, or Retire your version. The Edit and Delete functions for versions operate much like that of Concepts and Sources.
To Release or Retire a Version
- Click the resource you want from the home page or after a search. Click the Versions tab
- On the same page, check the respective checkbox (Release or Retire) next to the resource
- In the case of Retiring, you may need to provide the reason for the action.
This completes the Versions tutorial.
