Arbortext Editor Astoria Menu

The Astoria menu is added to the Arbortext menu bar when the Astoria WAN Bridge is installed.

The following Astoria menu commands are available:

Command	Description	XML Type
Open Object	Open an existing Astoria structured document or document fragment. In the Select Object dialog, browse for a structured document (or element) in the repository. Only the most current version of a structured document can be edited. The structured document is checked out and opened for editing. Note: Elements residing in other documents or locking units (reused information) will be read-only.	all
Recursive Edit	Open an existing Astoria structured document object, including opening any lower-level locking units making all children available for editing. In the Select Object dialog, browse for a structured document or element in the repository. Only the most current version of a structured document can be edited. The structured document is checked out and opened for editing. Additionally, any children in lower-level locking units are available for editing if the individual locking units are not locked. Any children that cannot be checked out are treated as read-only, similar to the behavior of non-recursive Edit Document command. Note: User-defined file entities remain locked and are displayed as read-only. Such objects cannot be recursively edited.	non-DITA
Create Entity Object	Create a new entity declaration. The Create Entity Object dialog appears so that you can enter the name, Astoria file object, and notation to be used by the new entity.	non-DITA
Copy Object	Copy an element from the repository to the clipboard for subsequent use with Paste Reusable Object. In the Select Object dialog, browse for an element in the repository.	non-DITA
Copy Object Location	Place the URL of the specified element on the clipboard so that it can be pasted elsewhere such as in an instant message or email.	non-DITA
Paste Reusable Object	When you select an insertion point in your current structured document, this command references the object most recently copied to the clipboard. The reused element is read-only.	non-DITA
Paste With Reuse	When you select an insertion point in your current structured document, this command pastes the object most recently copied to the clipboard. Elements that are in the same work unit as the root element have their Astoria special attributes stripped, thus inserting new copies of these elements into the document. Reused elements in the tree that either reside in a different work unit or are within a file entity (these most likely reside in a different work unit as well) retain their Astoria special attributes and thus remain reused after the operation.	non-DITA
Reuse Object	Select an insertion point in your current structured document, then click this command to insert a reference to an existing Astoria element. The Select Object dialog box is displayed so that you can select the element you want to reuse. The reused element is read-only.	non-DITA
Show History	Display the version history for the selected element.	all
Show Properties	Display the properties of the selected element. Note that any Custom Attributes are displayed as part of the properties.	all
Show Access Controls	View and change access controls of the selected element. Note: You must be authorized to change access controls.	all
