      Document Links & Version Control

      The Document Link can be found at the top of the Manage Document page for a document, and opens the most recently created and published version within it.

      A 'Document Link' allows you to seamlessly make updates to your content without affecting the user experience, whereas a 'Version Link' requires you to unpublish the specific version to make changes.

      Simply create a new version in the document (usually done by duplicating an existing version), make your changes and publish. The next time the Document Link is visited it will open the new version.

      Scenario
      Citylife Bank need to update their Employee Manual for 2024. Rather than unpublish the 2023 version (which would make it unavailable to their viewers), they simply create a new version. They can make their changes to the new version and publish when ready. The update is seamless, won't impact their visitors and there's no need to distribute a new link because the 'Document Link' will open their latest version.
