To create a new version of a content item follow the steps below. You can also create new versions of pages using the Site Structure Widget.

  1. Navigate to the content item for which you want to create a new version.
  2. Hover the mouse over the title of the content item and click the [Actions] button.
  3. Select "New Version". A new version is created containing the content and having properties identical to the previous version. The new version becomes the active version on the website frontend.

New Language Version

XperienCentral supports multiple language versions of a website. Each web page and page section can be displayed in multiple languages. Oftentimes, a page or page section is created in one language and then a new language version is created and then the text is translated.

  1. Navigate to the page or page section for which you want to create a new language version.
  2. Hover the mouse over the title of the page or page section and click the [Actions] button.
  3. Click "New Language Version" and then select the language for the new version from the list of available languages.
  4. Choose whether to retain the content from the current language or to create a blank page or page section.
  5. Click [Apply]. The page or page section is created in the language you selected. The name of the page is "Copy of [page name]" and the workflow state is "Planned".

Once a new language version of a page or page section is created, the language of the page or page section becomes the active one in the Workspace. You can quickly switch between languages and also create new language versions of a page using the Language Widget.
