What do 'Active', 'Testing', and 'Offline' mean?

An Oracle Guided Learning guide can have multiple versions.

Each time you edit a guide, a new revision of that guide is stored in our database. A revision can either be a published or an unpublished revision.

To complement this, Guided Learning supports a dual deployment mode. While you can only see published revisions in your production environment, Guided Learning allows you to see draft revisions in your staging environment.

This can be very useful if you want to create a guide for a new feature that is not yet live in production.

  • 'Published' means that it is live in production. This means that the guide has a published revision. There should be a checkmark icon under the actions column, click to unpublish it.
  • 'Draft' means that it is only available in staging. This means that your guide has just a draft version. There should be a pencil icon under the actions column, click to publish it.
  • 'Unpublished Revision' is a copy of a Published guide that you are making some edits to. While in this status the production guide is still visible to the users
  • 'Inactive' means that the guide cannot be seen on either staging nor production environment. The guide can be re-activated if necessary

When a guide has multiple revisions, it can have an unpublished revision that will be displaying in your staging environment and a published revision that is live in your production environment. If this is the case you will have both a pencil and a checkmark icon under the actions column. This will allow you to either publish the draft revision or unpublish the published revision.
