Modifying the StoryTeller document

StoryTeller template versions

Each StoryTeller Process that is used as a template in Composition Center is assigned a template version number. The template version is stored together with the template in the StreamServe repositories.

Modified templates

If you modify a StoryTeller template, the template version is automatically increased when you save the StoryTeller document. When a redeployed template version exceeds the existing template version, Composition Center recognizes the template modifications and any document definitions based on the template are automatically unpublished.

Document definitions based on modified templates must be republished

When the business user logs in to Composition Center, the user receives notifications for the document definitions that are based on the modified template. The business user must attend to and republish the document definitions before they can be used in document production again.

After being republished, document definitions based on the updated StoryTeller template are used when creating new documents.

Not all modifications affect the template

Not all modifications of the StoryTeller document affect the actual template. For example, the template is not affected if you update a text in the StoryTeller document. Modifications that do not affect the template do not result in an increased template version. Such modifications are immediately reflected in the output documents without republish in Composition Center. For more information, see Modifications and template versions.
