Hi Sean,

actually that is not possible.

But you can avoid this by creating your source label as hidden label.

So you just use this to create the pages and if updates in all labels are required.

And the visible labels are all target labels.

Cheers,

Stefan

Hi Stephan,

Is it possible to enable auto-variation when creating a site or a page, but disable auto-variation when update pages. It is annoying that variation keeps on adding minor versions to our French site when updating the English page. But we still want to keep this feature when a new page is generated.

Hi Sid,

that's not possible in a supported way.

Hi Stefan,

I have created a page in my sharepoint site and another in same hierarchy of the variant site. But since both the pages are created out of box without submitting variations so are not linked up. Is there any way i can link them up through variations ?

Thanks in Advance

Sid

Hi Dan,

I double checked: the relevant code has not changed in SP2013. Automatic Propagation is enabled per default and using the powershell script in Part 5 you can disable it.

If this does not work correctly in your Environment I would recommend to open a Support case to get this analyzed in more Details.

Cheers,

Stefan

Hi again Stefan,

I am not sure, if my comment from yesterday, got through, if it will, this one is obsolete.

We are migrating from MOSS 2007 to SP2010 directly to SP2013.

In SP2013 the Automatic Propagation to Target Pages is turned off in the Variation System, how can it be turned on again via Powershell, similar to PART 5 for SP2010? I tried that but did'nt work.

Thanks and regards,

Dan

Hi Stefan,

Appreciate the list of detailed articles shared !

However as per technet.microsoft.com/.../hh487293.aspx in SharePoint 2010 we have a 50 Variation label limit is it the same even in SharePoint 2007 ?

Hi Stefan - do you know if the problems with the relationships list, and the requirement to have the variations fixup tool, will still be there for SharePoint 2013? Thanks.

Hi Joachim,

in this case you should open a support case with Microsoft as it would be required to analyze the relationships list entries in more details.

Cheers,

Stefan
