Mandatory New Version at Review

By default, Activ provides users with the option to upload a new version of a file when they conduct a file Review. This enables them to complete a Review and a version update in one action if the file was changed as part of or consequence of the Review.

If necessary, your system also allows you make it mandatory to upload a new version when Reviews are completed. Enabling this option will mean that users will not be able to complete a file Review without also uploading a new version of the file, and this may be particularly useful where your business process involves regular combined reviewing and updating of your files. However, it is important to note that enabling this feature will impact all file Reviews in your system, regardless of which Library the file is stored in. This means that you cannot make Reviews mandatory for (e.g.) the Controlled Documents Library whilst leaving them optional for the Records Library or other areas of your File Manager module. Uploading a new version will be mandatory throughout the module.

For an explanation of how to enable the Mandatory New Version at Review option, see the Review Settings section of Configure File Manager Settings.
