Regenerating the Template Content
The purpose of Regeneration is to update the Template with content from the new Revision of a Manual.
In some cases, users generate content directly from a Manual and add attributes without changing the Step Title.
When they receive new Revisions through the Screening process, they update the Steps with the modified content from the new Revision.
During Regeneration, a user can revert the custom changes made to the Template.
Note
When you Submit a modified Template from Screening, it is present under the category as shown.
You can Regenerate the Template when it is under Edition.
Consider a Template generated from a Reference Manual.
Custom changes may be made to the Template. When a new version of the Reference Manual is available, the Template will be Regenerated.
In the Template edition stage, three Regeneration options are available.
There are three different Regeneration options listed below:
Regenerate all Steps.
(BETA) Regenerate with Template.
(BETA) Regenerate Template with Attributes.
The Regenerate all Steps option does not retain any custom Attributes.
All the steps are Regenerated.
The user can retain any custom changes by choosing (BETA) Regenerate Template or (BETA) Regenerate Template with Attributes as shown below.
