Version Control

By default, Macabacus connects Office content (such as slides, shapes, images, and charts) inserted into documents, presentations, and workbooks to the library from which it was sourced.

For example, suppose a slide in a shared library contains year-to-date information and is updated weekly. You add this slide to your presentation on May 1 using the Library pane, but on May 15 when you are putting the finishing touches on your presentation, that slide is already outdated. You can simply click the Macabacus > Library > Update Content button, and use the intuitive Library Content pane to update it to the current version. Another example is if your firm has updated their branding standards, and has published new versions of content to the library.

By default, Macabacus will scan for outdated library content when presentations, documents, and workbooks are opened. This setting can be turned off via Macabacus > Settings > Configure > Libraries > Versioning .

Use the Library Content pane (accessed viaMacabacus > Library > Update Content ) to update the content in your presentation, document, or workbook.

Republishing library slides, shapes, images, and charts through the Library Manager dialog automatically increments their versions (i.e., v1 to v2). Users are promptly notified of the new versions, ensuring they always have access to the latest resources and can replace content with the newest versions from the library.
