Editing an attachment

Use the Attachments window to edit information about an attachment to a data module (DM) in your technical manual.

Procedure

  1. In the Navigation panel, click Attachments.
    The Attachments window opens. The left panel of the window displays a list of DMs in the publication that have files attached to them. When the window opens, the DM selected before the Attachments button was clicked is active. If you want to work with a different DM, select it in the left panel to make it active.

    The right panel contains information about the active DM, including a list of its attachments if any, and controls for working with them.

  2. Ensure that the name and path to the DM you want to edit is displayed in the Target field.
  3. From the list of attachments associated with the active DM, select the Edit link for the attachment you want to edit.
    The Browse button disappears and the file name of the selected attachment appears (as read-only) in the Attach File field. The list of attachments also disappears.
  4. Optionally, enter or edit a comment about the attachment in the Comment field.
  5. If you are an administrator user, select the Public check box to make the attachment available to all users, or clear the check box to change an attachment from public to non-public.
  6. Click Save Change.
    LiveContent S1000D saves your changes and restores the right panel to its original state.
  7. When you have finished working with attachments, do one of the following.
    • Click Close to close the Attachments window and return to the location in the publication selected before the window was opened.
    • Click GoTo to close the Attachments window and go to the location of the currently selected DM.
