Publishing the Initial Baseline

Before you can publish change pages for a document, you must publish an initial baseline. Change Page Pro uses the page breaks captured in the baseline to calculate changed pages for subsequent publish operations.

1. Right-click the SGML document and select Publish > Publish Change Pages.
   The Publish Change Package dialog appears.
2. Verify that New Revision is selected in the Publish box.
   1. Ensure the Revision Level for an initial baseline should be 0.
   2. Ensure the Include Changebars check box is cleared, since no previous version has been published for comparison.
3. Set the Issue Date to the date you want to display in the document.
   This does not need to match the date you actually run the publish command, and usually reflects the official release date of the document. The time is not included in the printed date.
4. Verify the Package Name meets your naming conventions.
   The Package Name field is supplied with a default name. This name acts as a label for the name of the change package that displays in the Show Change Packages dialog. You can change this name from the default to match your own naming conventions. However, if you leave the default string, Astoria will automatically generate the next sequential package name when you publish an update.
5. Use the Package Location field to specify the folder within Astoria where the change package will be stored.
   You can change the default value that appears here on a document-by-document basis from the Show Change Packages dialog.
6. Click OK.
