About CS documents

CS documents are typically Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and other Windows files. Additionally, CS libraries support three special document types:

You can modify a CS document by checking it out, making changes, and then checking it back in. This creates a new version. Your system administrator sets an online limit for the number of versions. Versions over that limit are archived. For example, if the online limit is three, the library keeps the last three versions online and archives all older versions. You can retrieve an online or an archived version of a file. You can also make a version permanent to keep it online at all times.

A CS image document can have annotations, which are comments, highlights, and other markers attached to a page. Text documents cannot be annotated.

You can index CS document content so that users can retrieve the document by searching for words and phrases in the last indexed version.
