  • 1.  PAW books, missing the edit and reset book buttons

    Posted Mon October 30, 2023 02:31 PM

    Hi all 

    I just upgraded to the latest version of PAW, 2.0.90.

    When I open a book in some applications, I do not see the edit- or the reset book buttons. 

    Those are important for administrators and the reset book is also important for a normal user.

    Hi Asgeir,

    You could still edit those books if open separately, not from Apps.

    The reset button would make it back soon.

    The intent is to prevent the books from being changed.

    They should be kept consistent for all users.

    Best regards,

    Thank you for the answer @Svetlana Pestsova 

    This is a terrible change for us. 

    Can I somehow revert this setting in our environment?

    This should only be locked for people with no rights, not for modelers and admins. 

    Thanks, Asgeir

    Hi Asgeir,

    For now it'd be reverting and using the previous version of PAW, then updating PAW later in Q12024.

    Going forward, that functionality would be available again for the certain roles.

    The intent was based on the client's ask to prevent book editing form the Apps and Plans to assure the book consistency for the planning process.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Svetlana, 

    Is it possible to revert to the previous version without complications?
    Is the process just the same as updating to a new version of PAW, using the docker's image provided?

    Thanks, Asgeir

    The Expand feature is also missing when in applications. 

    All users use this a lot. 

    How can I fix this?

    Hi Asgeir,

    It'd be safer to wait for the next version.

    The clients do downgrade the versions but the complexity/complications would vary from case to case depending on the product they use and the assets.

    100% Svetlana, I would be worried about going to a previous version as the new selector widget could cause issues where an update has occurred in books and you then revert.
