Copy Properties When Saving Versions

When saving a version, Scroll Documents creates snapshots of page trees and their content. In a setup that uses other third-party apps however, oftentimes just copying the pages and the content might be insufficient to create a complete copy of the page content, as some third-party app information can be stored as JSON content properties.

In order to make sure these properties are also applied to the pages in the newly saved version, Scroll Documents allows you to specify which properties are to be copied when saving a new version.

How to Find Content Properties for Versioning

You can specify which properties to copy to a new version. Here's how:

1. Find the property. Contact the app vendor for the exact property key. We've also included some examples in the table below.

2. Specify the property. You can specify properties in two ways:

   • Literally: Enter the exact property key.

   • Regex: Use a Regex expression in order to copy variable property keys that might share a prefix or postfix.

In both cases, the matching content property key and its value will be copied to the corresponding page in the saved version.
