MCMS documentation is not clear on the following:

1. A GUID always has opening and closing braces.

2. From an author's point of view, "committed" means "saved", "approved" or
"deleted".

3. The GUID of a posting does not change if the posting is moved to another
channel.

4. The GUID does not change if the posting is re-edited, re-saved and
re-approved.

5. The GUID of a posting is immutable throughout the lifetime of the posting
.

6. The GUID of a deleted posting is expunged from the internal MCMS track
list of GUIDs.

7. MCMS will not generate again the same GUID as a deleted posting had.

I always use braces when comparing GUIDs

Authors cannot approve pages, but they can save.

I guess ALL GUIDs will be unique deleted or not

Hi Bill,

1) yes

2) commit means that the change is written back to the database. First every
change is done in memory (modifying properties, approving, deleting, moving,
copying. Commit saves the change back to the database to make it persistant.

3) the GUID of a MCMS object never changes.

4) see 3

5) see 3

6) GUID = global unique identifier. This means nowhere in the world should
two generated GUIDs be identical. This means never a new generated GUID can
be identical to a previous generated one.

7) this is not MCMS this is the behaviour of GUIDs in general.

Cheers,
Stefan.
