Setting the Print editor of Studio to read-only mode

Info: The described step can only be performed on the on-premise version of Studio, not on the cloud version.

Editing articles using Studio is only one way of working on articles within Studio Server. Other methods are by using InDesign or InCopy (both with Studio installed).

In some workflows it can be beneficial to not allow users to edit articles in Studio, but to have them use any of the other editors instead.

This is especially useful when using Tracked Changes. Studio currently does not support articles that contain Tracked Changes and by default won't open them or (after configuring Studio), accepts all Tracked Changes when the article is opened.

Studio can therefore be configured so that articles can only be opened in read-only mode. This allows users to still view and copy the content of the article.

This is done by adding the following setting:

• File: configserver.php file
• Name of option: ContentStationReadWriteEditor
• Location: SERVERFEATURES list
• Example:

new Feature( 'ContentStationReadWriteEditor' )
