How can I find out if and in which publication a branch is actually used?

Eva Nauerth

Hi, I might be confused or there is a feature missing.

I have a branch 3.1.1 of a map, and the latest version is version 3. So I am wondering if the branch is created by mistake and what to check if it is actually used. 

The "Where used" in Organize Space shows several maps (20 of those are translations plus some earlier versions), but no publication. 

If I go to the "version view" in the Content tab of that object in an open publication where version 3 is used, and I use the Where used view on the branch, it only shows 2 maps (the same as in Organize Space, but thankfully without the translations). 

In "Browse Repository/where used" I am not able to run the "where used" on the branch, as it is not offered in the context menu within the version selector, only in the repository where only the latest version is shown.

  1. So can I be sure that the branch is not used in any publication? Because if it was part of any baseline, it would show a publication in the list in Organize Space? And it shows the maps because they contain that GUID in an href attribute of a topicref?
  2. How can I run the Where used on a branch or older version in Browse repository?

Thanks for any feedback on the matter :)

  • Hi  ,

    To check where the branch of the map is used, you need to navigate to the Content view of the map, select the appropriate branch from the list and language, and then expand the Where used panel.
    Please see the screenshots below.
    In case there are no publication versions in the list, it means that this branch is not used in the baseline in any publication. 

    In case maps or topics are present there, it means that they are referencing this map.

    The same approach can be used for older versions of the document objects, like maps, topics, and library topics.
