Enhancements to Component management

Use the new Content Details pane

You can preview the first few sections of a topic at–a–glance and scroll to see the rest of the content in the topic without opening it. Although this pane is collapsed by default, you can expand it on the Components tab in the component grid and on an open Project tab just below the project details.

You can now use Advanced Search tools to find components being followed by a specific user or by a specific number of users.

Add the Type column to the Components grid

In the Components browser, you can use the drop down arrow next to a column name to open the Columns menu and use the new option for Type to show or hide that column.

DITA topic types are used to categorize the content or structure of the component. For example, tasks describe how to perform a procedure, concepts present descriptive information, and binaries are often images.

Other enhancements

Navigate using the Go to option

On the Dashboard, you can quickly navigate to the folder where a component is stored using the Go to option. This option opens the Components tab, displays with the contents from the folder, and selects the component. If the component isn’t listed on the first page of the folder contents, Inspire now moves to the page where it’s listed.

For more information, read: View recent activity on the Dashboard.

Save as CSV to include seconds (ss) and milliseconds in the filename to ensure uniqueness

When you click the

Save as CSV button, filenames now include seconds (ss) and milliseconds (ff) to ensure filename uniqueness. For example, Components_MM_DD_YYYY_hh-mm-ss-ff.csv.

Save as branch option to choose to retain all, some, or no referenced content

When you select a component and use the Save as branch option, you can now choose if the branch also contains:

All referenced components
Some referenced components
- Referenced components except xref/conref
- Referenced components except xref/conref/image
No referenced components

In the Components browser you can now see a branched icon that is black if the component is the source component for a branch, green if the component was branched because a source component referenced it, and orange if the component is both the source of one branch and included in another branch because a different source component referenced it.

Create a component
