Changing an item's current version

Oracle Portal lets you edit all aspects of an item after it is created with the Item Wizard. See Editing an item.

You must be logged on as a folder owner or an authorized user with the appropriate folder or item-level privileges.

To change an item's current version:

Note: If you are already in the folder in which you want to edit an item, skip to step 4.

  1. In the Navigator, click the Content Areas tab to navigate to Path: Content Areas.

  2. In the Name column, click the content area link that contains the item you want to work with.

  3. The content area home page (root folder) is displayed with all the sub-folder links that were chosen.

    • If necessary, click a sub-folder link to view the contents of a given folder.

    • If you do not see the folder that you want to work with, this means that you have not been granted the appropriate folder access privileges. See your content area administrator to gain access.

  4. Click Edit folder located on the main banner to switch to Edit mode.

  5. In the folder area, locate the item you are interested in.

  6. Click beside the item.

  7. From the list, choose the version of the item you want to make current.

  8. Click Set as current version.

This version of the item is now displayed to users. All other versions are maintained in the database for safe-keeping, and will be available if you want to choose another version to make current in the future.

Note

  • If you are editing the item, you can make changes to the item attributes by clicking any of the tabs: Primary, Secondary, and Access (available only if Item Level Secuirty was enabled).
