Update a deep dive to research it again, for example for another month or base. You see what changed before anyone you shared it with does, and you can go back to any earlier version.
Only the owner can update a deep dive or see its versions.
Update it
- Open … in the deep dive's top bar and choose Update.
- Choose how:
- Start over researches again from your question. The places and the wording may change.
- Revise keeps the current wording and changes only what the update needs. It suits small changes.
- Change From or Month if you want to.
- If the deep dive has comments, tick the ones the update should read. Open comments are Requests; resolved ones are Decisions to keep to. All are ticked to start with.
- Select Update deep dive.
It takes about 3 minutes, and you can keep using Platix.io meanwhile. You can update a deep dive up to 5 times a day.
Review it before anyone else sees it
When the update is ready, the deep dive shows Your update is ready to review. Only you can see it; everyone else still sees the current version. Your list of deep dives says "Update ready to review" too.
- What changed lists the places added or dropped (with why, when the update revised the deep dive), the sections that changed and what was kept.
- With Changes marked, changed text shows the old words crossed out and the new words underlined, and places are marked New or Changed. Clean shows the new version as it will look.
- Use this version makes it the one everyone sees. Keep the current one sets the update aside; it stays in the version history.
Starting another update while one is waiting for review sets the waiting one aside.
See and restore earlier versions
Open … and choose Version history. Each version shows when it was made and how: researched again, revised, restored, or the first research. Versions you set aside show as Not used.
- View opens a version read-only, with Back to current and Restore this version.
- Restoring asks first, then makes that version the current one for everyone. The version it replaces stays in the history, so you can switch back.
The newest 20 versions are kept.
Your month and Where to stay after an update
An update researches Your month again for the month in Month, or for the dates of the trip the deep dive is linked to. Other months you picked stay with the earlier version, so pick them again under When to go if you still want them. Need to know doesn't change, because it belongs to the country.
Revise keeps Where to stay. Start over researches it again, and adds it to deep dives made before Where to stay existed.
Comments after an update
Comments stay on their text if those exact words are still there. Others move to On text that has since changed. Comments an update read say Used in an update, and stay open until someone resolves them.
