<title xml:id="section_template_existing_document_title">Modifying an existing document</title>
<para>To begin editing an existing document, you may need to clone up to two projects --
the specific document project, and if not already cloned, the master document framework project too.
If needed, clone the master document as described in <xref linkend="section_cloning_master_doc"/>.</para>
<para>To obtain a copy of the desired document source, clone its project. For example, to clone this document,
<citetitle>Documentation Development Guide</citetitle>, from the
public OpenPOWER Foundation git repository, use this
command:<screen><prompt>$ </prompt><userinput>git clone https://github.com/OpenPOWERFoundation/Docs-Template.git</userinput>

<prompt>$ </prompt></screen></para>
<note><para>The permutations of Maven invocations may be combined into one operation where the parameters are specified in the order
in which one wishes to execute them. Thus, the command <literal>mvn clean generate-sources</literal> would accomplish the
same thing as the above sequence of commands.</para></note>
<para>If all goes well, the generated pdf should be available in <literal>~/Docs-Template/doc_dev_guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/template-guide/</literal>.</para>
<para>For assistance correcting commmon build failures, see <xref linkend="section_template_debug"/>.</para>
<note><para>Projects may contain multiple documents. While specific documents can be built by executing a
<literal>mvn clean generate-sources</literal> in the specific document directory, executing this command in
the base project directory will build all projects identified in the <literal>&lt;module></literal> list in the
top-level <literal>pom.xml</literal> file, known as the "Workgroup POM".</para></note>
<para>Before diving deeply into text updates,
you should consider the following items for your project and document:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Ensure that the previous version of the tree is tagged.</para>
<para>The command <literal>git tag</literal> may be used to see existing tree tags
and set new ones.
See <xref linkend="section_template_git_commands"/> for more specifics on <literal>git tag</literal> commands.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Reset the document status.</para>
<para>The <literal>pom.xml</literal> file contains the <literal>&lt;documentStatus></literal> field which generally
needs to be reset to the <literal>draft</literal> value. In addition, for non-public work groups, the <literal>&lt;security></literal>
field should be returned to <literal>workgroupConfidential</literal> or <literal>foundationConfidential</literal>
values during the document update process. More information on
document development process can be found in <xref linkend="section_template_process"/>. Detailed information on
key document settings can be found in <xref linkend="section_template_process_pom"/> and
<xref linkend="section_template_process_flowchart"/>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Incement the new document release information.</para>
<para>The <literal>bk_main.xml</literal> file contains the <literal>&lt;releaseinfo></literal> field
which contains the Versions, Release, and Modification values. Typically, new documents when first being edited will increment the correct value,
reset sub-values to zero, and append a "_preN" tag. During the development process, you will likely increment the "N-value" in your "pre" release
information. Then, at publish, you can remove the "_preN" suffix.</para>
<para>More details on the release information can be found in <xref linkend="section_template_policies"/> recommendation
<xref linkend="section_template_vrm_policy" xrefstyle="select: nopage"/>.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Create a new entry in the revision history.</para>
<para>The <literal>bk_main.xml</literal> file contains the revision history in <literal>&lt;revhistory></literal> table. To start a new entry,
add a new <literal>&lt;revision></literal> entry with <literal>&lt;date></literal> and <literal>&lt;revdescription></literal> fields at the top
of the list of revisions.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist></para>
<para>You are now ready to make textual updates.</para>
