Filling the manual

In this article we explain how a manual works and how it can be filled with page versions.


Filling the manual

When you open a manual in ISO2HANDLE, you will see that it consists of pages.
Some of these pages are fillable (fillable pages) and other pages are non-fillable pages with pages underneath them.

Non-fillable pages

As soon as you open a non-fillable page, you will see the title of the page, possibly a description, and the pages that are placed underneath it.
This description is not customizable and has been defined by the creator of the manual.


Fillable pages

As soon as you open a fillable page as an administrator, consultant or maintainer, you can fill this fillable page with page versions.

In this page version you can:

  • Add text with formatting and images. You can also create @links here.

  • Add links to various applications or websites

  • Attach files as annexes

  • Attach process flows

  • Add custom properties, for example data classification

In addition, various forms can be linked to the page.

Publish your page version

Once your page version is complete, you may want to publish it. You do this by changing the page version status.
You click on Concept, after which you will see the popup to change the status.

By default, the page version status flows from Concept to Internal to Public.

  • In the Concept phase, the page version is only visible to the creator.

  • In the Internal phase, you can share the page version with colleagues. You can comment on it until the page version is ready for publication.

  • In the Public phase, the page version is published and visible to anyone who is allowed to see the page.

You can customize this flow by clicking on Customize status.
As soon as you do this, you will enter the Page version status popup, where you can define your own flow.

Manage page versions

Once the page version is published, it is no longer editable. If you still want to create a new page version, click Add version again.
A copy of the published page version will then be created as Concept, allowing you to create an improved version.

On the right, you can see the timeline. This allows you to go back to previous page versions.


You can also easily compare page versions by clicking Compare versions.

In the popup, you can immediately see the differences between the page versions at sentence, word or character level.
