This is for a cloud-based SaaS product which doesn't have releases in the traditional software sense. An initial Help system was created. Now I have to prepare to do periodic updates. I'm thinking of duplicating the existing Help system's folders and file and renaming the existing system's top folder to "release." I would then name the duplicate's top folder "beta" and work on updates to the product in the beta version. Once the beta version is ready for release, I would copy those files over to the release folder structure and repeat the process.
Are there any gotchas when duplicating a Help system? I want to make sure the hyperlinks and graphic links are kept intact.
Any other suggestions for handling this?
Thanks.
