Adding new documents

When you add a new document to the object store, the application creates a new document object. Content Engine stores this object in the object store database. The Document object's content elements, if any, are stored in a file system or as a binary large object (BLOb) in the database, as specified by the Document object's class.

Adding a new document creates a Document object #1 in a version series.

Once a document has been added to an object store, it can be viewed, copied, checked out, modified, and checked back in, all depending on how the object store's client applications have been designed. Checking out a document creates a new version of the Document object.

See versioning for more information on modifying documents.
