Aliased DITA Asset Editing
Users edit aliased DITA assets rather than modifying aliases directly. When checking in DITA assets changes, the corresponding aliases automatically update to reflect the new changes. See Aliased DITA Asset Updates for details.
Alias icons reflect the check-in/out and publish marking status of the corresponding DITA asset. Clicking the alias in the Site Tree will open the DITA asset in the Assets main pane.
For editing DITA assets, consider using integrated authoring tools, such as Fonto or Oxygen XML Editor. See Creating and Modifying DITA Topics for details about DITA authoring.
If the Site Tree does not display aliases, verify the aliases are marked to the target selected for the Site Tree publishing target filter and the DITA asset's tab lists the alias for that target. In alias structures, if the parent alias is unmarked but the child aliases are marked, the parent and child aliases do not display.
See CMS DITA Versioning Functionality for details about managing aliases with versioned DITA content.
Alias Context Menu Actions
Use Site Tree context menu actions on aliases. Some actions apply only to aliases, while others apply to the corresponding DITA asset..
See Alias Context Menu Actions for available alias context menu actions.
