Version Notes: CMS 10.6.492
CMS 10.6.492 displays only aliases marked to the publishing target in the Site Tree.

If the Site Tree does not display the new alias structure, verify that the aliased DITA asset root is marked to the target selected in the Site Tree publishing target filter.

See CMS DITA Versioning Functionality for details about managing aliases with versioned DITA content.
