Steps to update the Flare project when we are preparing help for a new DSP version.
Edit me

When starting work on a new version of DSP help:

  • Add a “What’s New in [New Version Number] topic
  • Update the link in the TopNav TOC to point to this new version, and update the version number in the TOC
  • Delete the body text in the What’s New topic, and add links to the Previous Versions section at the bottom for the last version’s What’s New topic
  • Update the Version Variable.
  • Update the Previous Versions links markup (<p MadCap:conditions="Primary.dspConduct"><a href="https://dsphelp.boaweb.com/JUSTRELEASEDVERSIONNUMBER/general/[%=System.SourceFile%]">See this topic in Version JUSTRELEASEDVERSIONNUMBER</a></p\>) in the Master Pages for all topics with the new version number in the
    • href url - https://dsphelp.boaweb.com/JUSTRELEASEDVERSIONNUMBER/general/[%=System.SourceFile%]
    • the link text - See this topic in Version JUSTRELEASEDVERSIONNUMBER
    • Ex. <p MadCap:conditions="Primary.ISA"><a href="https://dsphelp.boaweb.com/701/solex/[%=System.SourceFile%]">See this topic in Version 7.0.1</a></p>
    • Put is below the body proxy (<MadCap:topicToolbarProxy style="mc-topic-toolbar-items: Print RemoveHighlight;" /><MadCap:bodyProxy />) and above the feedbacksurvey (<div id="feedback-survey">).
    • Do not add this markup to the HomePage or Search Results Master pages.
    • Update the other branches (develop_70, develop_701 etc) to include a link to the just released version, so that all topics will have links to other available versions. Ensure there is a link to the solex and the general help for each version and that the CTs are applied correctly.
    • Here is an example of links in the 7.0.1 version.
