Release Notes 2022.4.4.0

Create conkeyrefs that resolve correctly

A conkeyref requires that the topic be opened from a map.

• The @conkeyref attribute enables authors to share DITA topics that reuse content.
• It also enables map authors to specify different key definitions for common keys.

In Inspire, you can now create conkeyrefs that resolve as conkeyrefs instead of conrefs.

• Conkeyrefs are helpful in a scenario where you produce content for a product that has to be different for different audiences. For example, you create documentation for two different business partners and the business names must differ.
• Simply using the @conref attribute does not work in Inspire where every DITA topic is addressed by a globally-unique identifier (GUID).

For more details, read: Reuse content with references in Oxygen.

See enhanced performance when viewing deleted components

After you delete a component, it's stored in the Deleted Items folder until you permanently delete it.

Now, when you view a component in the Deleted Items folder, you see it listed in less time.

For more details, read: Delete Components.

See a notification that the snapshot process has started

A snapshot is a copy of a file you have made at a specific moment in time.

• You can create a snapshot to back up data at different intervals so you can recover information in a file from different periods of time.

On the Create snapshot screen, when you click Create, you see a message telling you: "The create snapshot process has begun. You will be notified when the process is complete."

For more details, read: Create a snapshot on demand.

Use the new Changesets top menu option

If you want to see an ongoing record of all changes made to the components in your instance of Inspire, you can click Changesets.

For more details, read: See all changes to all components.

On the Dashboard, sort My Reviews by Title

The Dashboard tab gives you quick access to projects and components that you've recently opened.

• You can also see a high-level view of your assignments and reviews.

In the My Reviews section of the Dashboard, you can sort the list of reviews by the following columns:

• Coordinator
• State
• Start Date
• Due Date
• Progress

Now you can also sort using the Title column.

For more details, read View recent activity on the Dashboard.

Update the list of sub-folders and components for a single folder

When you open the Components tab, you can navigate through folders to manage your content.

To take action on one specific folder, you can access the Options menu in the following ways:

• Click the Options icon
• Right-click on the folder name

There is a new action you can select on the folder's Options menu:

• Refresh.
  • For the selected folder only, updates the list of sub-folders and components.
  • Inspire only shows only the first level of sub-folders and components it contains.

Note that if you want to update the entire folder list, go to the Folders toolbar and select the Refresh (all) option.

For more details, read Manage where a component is stored.

Clear the translation configuration field after making a selection

Previously, when creating a new translation,

1. From the top menu, click Translations.
2. Click Create.
3. In Translation Configuration, select any option.
4. Try to delete or backspace to clear the selection in Translation Configuration.

The result was you could not clear the translation configuration field after you made a selection.

• To change the selection, you had to click Cancel to close the dialog and start over.

Now, when creating a new translation, you can clear the translation configuration field after a selection is made.

For more details, read: Send components to translation.

See enhanced performance when opening a project

You can use a project to collect components, participants, and assignments that you need to meet a specific goal.

When you open the Project Management tab, you don't have to wait as long to see the project list.

For more details, read: Things you can do on the Projects Management tab.

See enhanced performance for scheduled publishing

The scheduled publish service was previously using a single queue and now uses multiple queues.

For more details, read: Publish your content.

See updates in the Components browser after using Find and Replace

As an administrator, you can search for and replace text in one or more components without opening them.

After using Find and Replace to update content, Inspire updates the following information in the Components browser and in the Component Details History tab:

• Updated By
• Updated Date
• Last Updated By

For more details, read: Find and replace text in components.

Validate your PD Rest integration

As an administrator, after you create a PD Rest API integration method, you must ensure that Inspire has all the information necessary to pull information from a Project Director submission.

• First, you must Authenticate an Active integration method. This action allows Inspire to contact Project Director using the OAuth information you supply.
• Authentication verifies Inspire's identity, and authorization determines Inspire's access rights to Project Director information.
• If Inspire can't authenticate successfully with Project Director, you see an error.
• If Inspire can authenticate successfully with Project Director, you can see the configuration and can use the Edit Configuration option if necessary.

For more details, read: Authenticate transmission to Project Director.

Allow a user to create workflows and project assignments

As an Inspire administrator, you can set permissions to grant or deny users or roles access to a specific module.

• By default, only users with administrator permissions or access to the Project Module with the Create permission can create a project, workflows, and project assignments.

If you want to allow a user without these permissions to create workflows and project assignments after a project is created, you can give them permission in Module Access Management.

• Granting a user permission to create an assignment or workflow does not mean you also have to grant them permission to create projects.
• You can use the options on the Permissions tab as well as the Properties tab to configure what parts of the Project Module you want them to access.
• The user or role you are granting access to on the Properties tab doesn't have to be listed on the Permissions tab for you to be able to select them.
• However, if a user or role doesn't have any access to the Project Module, then they won't be able to create project workflows or assignments even if you give them explicit permission through the can_initiate_assignment property.

For more details, read: Allow a user to create project assignments and workflows.

Create a new language group with a Description in 500 characters or less

As an administrator, when creating a new or updating an existing language group, the Description field tells you "The maximum length for this field is 1000."

• However, it is possible to enter only up to 500 characters.

Now, when creating a new or updating an existing language group, the Description field tells you "The maximum length for this field is 500."

For more details, read: Group translation languages.

After authoring your content in Inspire, you can publish components in a format your customers can read. Publish Server lets you manage publishing jobs after you submit them in Inspire.
