EPOSITORY
When you check in a file, Stellent Content Server stores the original, or native, file in a
central repository for native files. If your system includes any
(page 3-4), a web-viewable version of the file (such as PDF) will be created and stored in a
special repository for web-viewable files. (If you are not using a conversion module, or if
a particular file type cannot be converted, a copy of the native file is placed in the
repository for web-viewable files.)
A file that is checked into the content server is called a content item. Any user with the
correct security permissions can view the web-viewable version of a content item or get a
copy of the original file from the repository of native files. Security permissions determine
who can view, revise, and delete a particular content item. For more information refer to
The various types of files that can be associated with a single content item (the native file
and any web-viewable files) are called renditions. For example, the PDF version of a
content item is a rendition of that content item, as are the HTML and XML versions.

ONTROL
If you want to change a file that is checked into the content server, you need to check the
content item out of the file repository. Only one person can have a content item checked
out at any giventime, but others can still view the released version of the file.
When you are finished making changes to the file, you check it back into the content
server, which automatically stores the new file as a new revision of the content item.
Previous revisions remain available for you to view or copy, but the latest revision will
always be displayed by default from content server web pages.
Every content item in the repository for web-viewable files has a persistent URL. This
means that each content item has a unique web address that does not change from one
revision to the next. Therefore, the most current version is always displayed when you
point your browser to the URL of a content item.

Note: This user guide describes the standard web pages and procedures that come with the
“out-of-the-box” content server. However, Stellent Content Server is highly customizable,
so your content server web pages might look quite different from those in this guide.
