Elements

Element	Description
authorID	Setting Set the user that authored the document version. If the document version was created anonymously, the authorID should be -1. Getting Returns the user that authored the document version. If the document version was created anonymously, this method will return -1.
creationDate	Setting Sets the creation date of the document version. In most cases, the creation date will default to when the document version was entered into the system. However, the creation date needs to be set manually when importing documents. In other words, skin authors should ignore this method since it is only intended for system maintenance. Getting Returns the date the document version was created.
documentState	Setting Sets the document state for the version. Setting a state of "published" (PUBLISHED) will cause any other version of the document in that state to be altered to have a state of "archived" (ARCHIVED) . Setting a document state of "published" (PUBLISHED) may cause a DocumentAlreadyExistsException to be thrown if the subject of the document is not unique among the published documents in the community the document is contained within. This could be throw when the document is updated with the new values. Getting Retrieve the document state for the version.
minorVersion	Setting Getting Returns true if the revision this instance represents is a minor version.
modificationDate	Setting Sets the date the document was last modified. In most cases, the last modified date will default to when the document data was last changed. However, the last modified date needs to be set manually when importing documents. In other words, skin authors should ignore this method since it is only intended for system maintenance. Getting Returns the date the document version was last modified. When a document version is first created, the date returned by this method is identical to the creation date. The modified date is updated every time a document version is updated, such as if the document title was modified.
versionCommentCount	Setting Getting Returns the number of comments made on the document version.
versionNumber	Setting Getting Returns the version number of the version of the document. Version numbers may not be unique identifiers between documents and only should be used for identifying versions within a particular document.
