Enabling item version control at the content area level

Related topics
Oracle Portal lets you select the level of item version control you want for items in a content area or in a folder. Item version control determines what happens to the old version of an item when a new version is added. Folder owners can override the item version control level for the folders that they own. However, they can only provide a higher level of version control, not a lower level. For example, if you set item version control to Simple at the content area level, a folder owner could set the item version control level on a particular folder to Audit, but not to None.
	You must be the content area administrator, the portal administrator, or have Manage privileges on All Content Areas to enable item version control at the content area level.

To enable item version control at the content area level:

In the Navigator, click the Content Areas tab. Navigate to the root path. In the row for your content area, click Edit. Click Items. In the Item Versioning radio group, select the level of item version control you want to use in the content area. Level Description None Overwrites the item's previous version; the database does not maintain a record of any of the item's previous versions. Simple Enables the content contributor to choose between overwriting the existing item or adding a new version. If the latter, the database maintains a record of all the item's previous versions. Audit Always adds the item as a new version. The database maintains a record of all the item's previous versions. Click OK.
