Viewing Published Versions of a Composition
 
 
 

In the Versions tab, you can view the list of all published versions for a composition when you have that composition open. Once you have published versions of a composition, you can open and view any of them, as well as revert and render any unrendered compositions you may have.

To view different versions of a composition:

  1. Open a composition—see Opening and Viewing Versions.
  2. In the tool UI, select the Versions tab.

    The Versions tab displays all existing published versions of the composition, including versions that were not created with Toxik 2010. The working version of a composition is always listed first, followed by the most recently created versions.

  3. To view a version, double-click any entry in the list.

    The read-only version is opened. If the version of the composition is already open, then Toxik switches to display it. If you double-clicked the working version, it is opened in read/write mode.

    The Player updates to display the selected published version.

    NoteIf the rendered version does not appear in the Player, verify that the Rendered Output option is selected in the Display tab of the Player options. To set the Player options, press the tilde key (~) to display the Gate UI and swipe through the south gate—see Setting the Target for the Player.

Things to Remember

To view the list of all published results for a composition to which you are linking:

  1. In the Schematic view, click the node of the linked composition.
  2. In the tool UI, select the Versions tab.

    The left side contains the list of all published results for the composition. The right side shows the published result of the selected version.

To open a version:

  1. In the Versions tab, select a version to open and do one of the following:
    • Click the Open button.
    • Double-click the selected version.

To delete a version:

  1. On the left side of the Versions tab, select a version to delete and do one of the following:
    • Click the Delete button.
    • Right-click and select Delete.
    • Press Delete on the keyboard.

Reverting a Composition

Reverting to a previous version of a composition lets you replace the working composition by the previous one. When you do this, you are actually working on a copy of the previous version and not on the copy itself, which is read-only.

To revert the working version:

  1. In the Versions tab, select a version to revert and do one of the following:
    • Click the Revert button.
    • Right-click and select Revert Working To.

    In the message box that appears, click OK to confirm the reversion.
