@Hrbrgr Because this are all my chapters. I have chapters of 10 pages, but also many off two pages, sometime even one page. The content forces me to do so. If i would be obliged to organize it differently, then it would be much more complex to control. May, on a later moment I want to move a chapter of two pages, a bit later. It this would be combined with other chapters it will getting very complicated.
I want the quality of my book to be as high as possible. So I send my LO documents to more external editors, and they use the LO Menu → Edit → Track-changes, and this works fine. But I still want to keep the original documents. So it will be new, internal versions.
I publish with POD (Printing On Demand) , with small quantities. My effort is to have falsifiability, and invite my readers verify what I write. This is unusable, I know. If they can proof one detail is wrong, I will correct that. And add the correction in an additional appendix. So readers can control al the changes made, since the first version of the book. These are the external versions,
So I hope I have many small editions, with small changes, with increasing verifiable quality. I hope there will be changes, so the mechanism works. But not to much, because then my work was not sufficient.
So for this I want to store every edition, with quite small changes, in a different folder. So I can go back to the original version of two editions ago. It is a quite simple and primitive kind of versioning.
It would be nice if in the master document has a “sub-document path” could be defined. All the sub-documents point to that path. Then, after copying, the only thing I have to do to change “sub-document path” of the master document.
If LO have a better way to control multiple versions of a master-document and all of its sub-documents, I am open for that.
). Other helpers will know more about versioning systems and heir applicability.
