Librarian |
Librarian is a revision control system for BarTender documents, images, and related files. Revision control stores files in a centralized repository, and you can use it to track changes that are made to a file, revert to earlier versions of a file, and restore deleted files. Librarian stores its files in the BarTender System Database so that all users of the BarTender Suite have access to them.
To edit a file that is stored in Librarian, a user must check the file out of the repository. When the changes are complete, the user checks the files back in to the repository. Librarian keeps track of all revisions, noting the date and time of a modification and the user who checked the file in. Users who have the corresponding permission assigned to them in Administration Console can access this information, so they can easily identify file revisions.
File revisions are identified by consecutive numbers. When a file is first added to the repository, its designation is "revision 1". When the first change is made to a file, the subsequent check-in is "revision 2", and so on. At any time, a user can revert to a previous revision of a file.
By using Librarian, you can use workflows to track changes that are made to a file, and you can customize the workflow file states. When you assign a state to a file, you can easily identify the progress of that file towards a goal.
The Librarian user interface makes it easy to view and organize files and file revision history.
