Ideas for Arc XP

Include modificacion time in pages of documentation about Fusion

When there is a new release of Fusion its impossible to detect (in an easy way) whether changes have been made to the documentation files (and where). There are a lot of pages to check...

For example, there are no modification time included in pages of

https://prisa.arcpublishing.com/alc/alc/arc-products/pagebuilder/fusion/2.6

How could a developer know what has been changed or added?

  • Having a page for a list of changes, with links to modified pages, would be helpful (a kind of release notes specific for documentation)

  • One interesting thing would be adding the time of modification of the page contents, so you can detect if there has been any change since the last time you checked that page.

    Hi Oscar,


    Since this idea was posted, ALC was renewed with new search capabilities and what you described is possible with current version of ALC search. See the video tutorial of it below.



    As far as the actual changed made within a page, our knowledge base is not capable to show diffs out of box. But we started maintaining unversioned (always-latest) versions of these docs and we specifically note any changes made given a specific Engine version, in the related sections of each doc.

    Thanks for your suggestion! This is a good idea and something we'd like to look into implementing; however, due to the varied sources of documentation within Fusion and ALC, and how they record modifications, this is a technical hurdle we'll need to investigate further.
