Updating References
For this exercise, use the businessMeetings.ditamap document you modified in the previous exercise.
Arbortext Editor provides an update references feature for DITA maps that enables you to check all of the DITA topics referenced from the map and update any incorrect information in the associated topic references. You can also use the update references feature for a DITA topic. In that case, the operation will update things such as cross references, link preview text, and so forth.
Follow these steps to update the references in businessMeetings.ditamap:
1. In businessMeetings.ditamap, double-click on the The Parts of Meeting Minutes topic to open that topic in a new Arbortext Editor window.
2. Change the title of the meetingMinutes.dita topic to the following text:
The Format of Meeting Minutes
3. Save and close meetingMinutes.dita.
4. In businessMeetings.ditamap, choose > .
The progress of the update references operation is displayed on the status bar. Since the operation found references in the map that needed to be updated, the Update References Messages window opens:
The operation corrected the changes you made in previous exercises to the type attribute for two of the topic references. It also updated the map’s navigation title to reflect the change you just made to the title of meetingMinutes.dita.
5. Save businessMeetings.ditamap.
In addition to the update references feature, you can also use Arbortext Editor’s enhanced completeness checking with DITA maps.
