Moving from Oxygen XML Author to Web Author
Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2017 12:09 pm
Hi,
I have successfully set up a trial of Oxygen XML Web Author on my machine and am using the WebDAV plugin to access my DITA files on our SVN repository.
When I open existing topics (that render perfectly in desktop Author), I notice that things like keyrefs are not resolved from within Web Author.
Does Web Author have the perspective of the entire Oxygen project or just the file that is currently opened?
I guess I am still trying to identify how and when we will use this tool but we definitely need an online editor that allows shared updating of content.
Also since the SVN repo cannot be updated directly (and I don't want SMEs updating content directly before I review them), is there a common process for creating a copy of such files in a shared location?
Regards,
Ann
