What to do next
When you create a new version of a topic or map while working on a publication in Publication Manager, the new version will be used only in that specific publication version.
When you create a new version of an object from the Browse Repository window, you do so outside of any specific publication context. The new object version will not be referenced in any publication version even if the object is used in the publication.
To use the new version in other publications or different versions of the same publication, you must use Publication Manager to update the individual publication baselines. For example, if you create a new version of a topic that is used across multiple publication versions, and you want that new topic version to be used in several of the publication versions, then you need to individually open the each publication version in Publication Manager and select the new topic version in the baseline.
