Editing Filesets that have Revisions
What
You may need to edit an existing Fileset after it has more than one revision. The revision selector controls which revision you are changing. This procedure changes packaged files or scripts in FileWave Central. To change only a revision’s Name or Comment, use Editing Fileset Revisions instead.
When/Why
For example, assume a Firefox Fileset has two revisions: v79 and v80. You might need to change a file only in v80, or you might need to make the same change in both revisions. Check the revision selector before editing so you know which Fileset revision is open.
How
In both the Fileset editor and the script editor, use the Revision drop-down menu to choose the revision you want to edit. Check the selector in each window before changing its contents; the two examples below show different revisions. The Fileset window shows <default> (v79), while the script editor shows v80. These Firefox versions illustrate revision selection, not current software recommendations:
To switch revisions in either window, change the value in the drop-down. If you do not use Fileset revisions, leave the selector at the default revision and continue editing the Fileset the usual way.
Check the edit and its targets
After saving, reopen the edited revision and confirm the intended file or script change. If the same correction is needed in both v79 and v80, inspect and edit each revision deliberately rather than assuming that editing one changed the other.
Choosing a revision in the editor is not the same as choosing which revision devices receive. Review the assigned revision before publishing: a named revision and the default revision serve different rollout needs. For a new software version, use Fileset Revisions: Test, Roll Out, and Roll Back Updates to plan the pilot and transition before changing the broader assignment.
