---+ Managing Version Support using Conductor UI

---++ What

This document demonstrates how the Virtuoso Conductor User Interface can be used to enable and manage file Versioning in Virtuoso WebDAV folders.

---++ Why 

This can be used for maintaining a history of file changes within the Virtuoso WebDAV folders providing version control support which is useful in managing file changes in large projects.

---++ How

Here is a sample scenario for managing resource versions from Virtuoso Conductor:

   1. Go to <code>http://&lt;cname&gt;:port/conductor</code>
   1. Log in as <code>dba</code>
   1. Go to <b>Web Application Server</b>
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/v1.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
   1. Click <b>Upload</>
   1. Select a file and click the <b>Upload</b> button
      * For example, upload a <code>sample.txt</code> file containing the following text:
<verbatim> 
Simple Test
</verbatim>
<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/v2.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
   1. As a result, the file will be uploaded. 
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/v3.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
   1. Click the properties icon of the file, shown in the last column to the right.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/v4.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
   1. In the <b>Properties</b> form, click the <b>Enable VC</b> button.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/v5.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
   1. You can also set <b>Auto Versioning Content</b> to one of the following: 
      * <b>Checkout -&gt; Checkin</b>
      * <b>Checkout -&gt; Unlocked -&gt; Checkin</b>
      * <b>Checkout</b>
      * <b>Locked -&gt; Checkout</b>
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/v6.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
   1. Click the <b>Update</b> button
   1. Click the <b>Edit</b> icon for the uploaded file, shown in the last column to the right.
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/v7.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
   1. In the edit form, amend the content of the file to, for example --
<verbatim>
Simple Test for Version Control
</verbatim>
<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/v8.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%
   1. Click the <b>Save</b> button
   1. Now click the <b>Properties</b> icon for the <b>sample.txt</b> file
   1. As a result, the new version of the file will be displayed in the <b>Versioning</b> section of the file properties:
%BR%%BR%<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/v9.png" style="wikiautogen"/>%BR%%BR%


You can delete specific versions and/or disable version control at any time.
