Capturing New Document Versions using Document Loader<\/h2>\n

You can\u00a0capture new versions of source documents in the same way as regular documents. Document Loader<\/em> compares the two versions of your document and identifies any new or modified source statements. You can select which of these revisions to load into your Cradle project database.<\/p>\n

Adding a new version of document and Overwite\/Merging<\/h2>\n

When you load the new version of your document, Document Loader<\/em> adds or updates the appropriate items in your project database. A new set of bookmarks is created around each source statement and linked to the new version of your source document<\/p>\n

Please note that Document Loader<\/em> does not delete items in your project based on deleted paragraphs in your new version.<\/p>\n

As long as you have all items baselined in the previous captured document. When making a new version of the document, Document loader will create a draft of the items.<\/p>\n

Document Loader<\/em> relies on an accurate correlation between the source statements in the current version and the new version of your source document. Before loading a new version it is necessary to consider the nature of the modifications in your document.<\/p>\n

We advise taking a backup prior to loading a new version.<\/p>\n

Your new version will contain minor revisions to requirement statements with new sections and subsections added. These modifications should have been made with Word’s Track Changes<\/strong> enabled.<\/p>\n

If however, the new version contains strong modifications, such as restructured sections or entire sections deleted, then it may be necessary to load your document as a new source document instead. You may still update the existing items in your project, provided that your document contains the items’ identities. To do this you must set the Overwrite<\/strong> option to Merge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Document Loader<\/em> dialog is shown below showing a new document version ready to be captured. As you can see the changes are highlighted:<\/p>\n
