Team editing

The Editing framework empowers SME reviewers who want to make changes to a resource directly—the SME controls the final approval of the accuracy and completeness of the topic or map.

Content Editor, in combination with Collaborative Review and Content Manager, empowers engineering teams to contribute to the technical documentation review cycle by editing topics or maps directly.

DITA publications (in the DITA XML standard) are published from Content Manager. Within an open publication, topics and maps are viewed in Collaborative Review for team review and can be edited in Content Editor. The latter insulates the SME from the underlying tag structure (elements and attributes) of a DITA topic so he or she can focus on content and not markup. The SME can always tweak markup in code view, if needed. The edited topic or map is checked back into Content Manager and republished back to Collaborative Review so the SME is always viewing the latest information. This process is dynamic and seamless.

Editing is not supported on the iPad, but Commenting is.
