Info: Performing the step described in this article requires direct server access. Depending upon how your system is hosted and the level of access you have to that system, coordination may be required with your Partner or WoodWing Support team. For a full overview of the steps that need to be done by WoodWing and how to request them, see WoodWing Cloud - Change management.
When choosing the File > Save command in InDesign or InCopy, the file is saved locally. This is done to reduce network traffic and speed up intermediate save operations.
When choosing the WoodWing Studio > Save Version command, the file is saved locally and sent to the Server as a new version.
Studio Server can be configured in such a way that the file is always saved directly to Studio Server, regardless of which Save command is used.
This feature can be controlled by the following option:
- File: config_overrule.php
- Area: Server Feature
- Name of option: AlwaysSaveDocIntoDatabase
- Example:
new Feature( 'AlwaysSaveDocIntoDatabase' ),
The table below shows when native files are sent to the server or only saved locally.
| Application | Event | Saved locally | Saved on server |
|---|---|---|---|
| InDesign | Place article 1 | Yes | Optional 2 |
| InDesign | Create article 1 | Yes | Optional 2 |
| InDesign | Check in article | Yes | Optional 2 |
| InDesign | Check out article | Yes | No |
| InDesign or InCopy | File > Save | Yes | Optional 2 |
| InDesign or InCopy | WoodWing Studio > Save Version | Yes | Yes |
1 If the AlwaysSaveDocIntoDatabase option is not enabled, a situation can arise where an article is placed on a layout, but that layout has not since been saved back to the server. This means that the layout information needed by the article is not yet available to anyone else. As a consequence, if at this point someone opens the article in InCopy, they will be shown a message saying: “The story has been placed on a layout which is not saved since then. Therefore, no layout information is available...”. In that case the InDesign document will not be opened, and InCopy will treat it as an unplaced article.
When the InDesign document is closed it will be saved to the server to ensure data integrity.
2 Optional. Default is “No”. The native layout file is only sent to the Server when the server feature AlwaysSaveDocIntoDatabase is set.
