4. Click OK to save your changes.

5. Click OK in the confirmation page.

Note –

When a new version of an existing device becomes available, you can add it

to the list of devices and designate the previous version of the device as compatible
to it. When content is created that specifies the new version, the content can be seen
on either the previous version of the device or the new version.

Note, however, that content that is created that specifies the earlier device version is
not immediately accessible through the newer device. You must edit the earlier
device’s description to include the new version as a compatible device. You can
modify an edition of the content to include the new version as a supported device.
See the following procedure for instructions.

Adding Supported Devices to Existing Content

When a new device is available that can support existing content, the content can be
edited to include the new device as one of its supported devices.

To add a device as a supported device to existing content, follow these steps:

2. Select the desired content from the content list.

3. Click on an instrumented edition of the content in View Content Properties page.

4. Click Select for Supported Devices on the View Content Edition page.

5. Select one or more compatible devices and click OK.

Selecting the option, Force no devices to be selected for this edition, results in no
devices being associated with the content edition. The edition is no longer available
to subscribers.

6. Click OK again to confirm your selections.
