When you open a presentation for editing, it is saved as a project. Each change you make to a project, Mediasite automatically saves and lists it in the project's revision history. Once you are finished editing, you can save your changes to the original presentation, to a new presentation, or to an existing presentation.
Each time you commit a change to a presentation, a job is created for it. A presentation can have multiple projects, each with its own commit jobs. For each job, its status and time it was executed or completed are listed along with a bar showing its progress. A job can have three possible states: completed, working, and failed.
Saved changes and project revisions
When saving changes, it is important to understand how each type of change affects project revisions.
|
Save changes to current presentation |
When you save your changes to the current presentation, the web editor saves content to the next project revision. For example, if you were working on revision 2 of a project, saving changes to the current project will create revision 3. |
|
Save changes to new presentation |
When you save changes to new presentation, Web Editor creates a new presentation and the project number is 1.
|
|
Save changes to existing presentations |
When you save changes to an existing presentation, all project revisions greater than 1 are removed and the revision is set to 1. By default, the target presentation retains its media type and encoding settings. However, you can choose to overwrite them with those of the presentation you are editing. |
