Branch and Merge – Release Management’s biggest challenge?
Successful release management has to overcome many obstacles but perhaps the biggest challenge with DITA content is effectively dealing with the branch and merge of Topics. Bluestream’s XDocs 50 brings a fresh and streamlined approach to branch and merge management. Users can now easily identify changes in the branch content and effortlessly manage changes.
At the test kitchen you will see first-hand how this new functionality works and how your documentation production processes can be simplified.
