Oxygen Integration

Oxygen is an XML editor that lets you author and develop content using structured markup languages such as XML, XSD, Relax NG, XSL, and DTD. When you're managing content development and publishing cycles in Inspire, you can collaborate with contributors and subject-matter experts using the Oxygen XML editor. If you're used to working in Oxygen's editor, you can edit a component in Inspire with Oxygen editing tools.

Inspire is currently integrated with Oxygen 28.0

This includes improvements in the following areas:

Deeper integration with Oxygen AI Positron 8.0
Streamlined editing and review tasks
Strengthened security for large organizations

For more details, read the Oxygen release notes at: What's New in Oxygen XML Web Author 28.0.

Keep in mind that not all features available in the standalone version of Oxygen are present in Inspire's Oxygen-based editor.

Prerequisites

You can see options to edit and view a component in Oxygen if:

You or an administrator has purchased an Oxygen License for yourself or your company
You or your administrator has asked Vasont to add your license(s) to our License Manager application

Inspire customers can't access License Manager directly, but you can contact Vasont and one of our internal System Admins will add your Oxygen license(s) to your instance of Inspire. Only your company can access Oxygen using your licenses.

Do I have access to all Oxygen features?

Keep in mind that choosing the option to Edit in Oxygen doesn't open the full version of Oxygen, but an editor inside Inspire. Inspire's Oxygen editor gives you access to many of the essential Oxygen features you need to edit content. After you choose to edit a component, you can complete the following tasks with Inspire's version of the Oxygen editor:

Edit content just as you would in the Oxygen XML Editor in text editing mode (undo/redo, search, download, print, edit as XML, track changes, comment, show DITA map view, format text, create lists, add links, reuse content, use tables, and insert special characters).
Quickly navigate through the document by selecting nodes in the Outline pane.
Monitor all the changes you make to a document and manage comments using Change Tracking and the Review pane.
Copy and paste content from Microsoft Word
Work with images
Reuse content with references
Create a cross-reference link
Show or hide tags
Work with elements
View and update attributes
Validate XML
Save documents in various stages of development

Tips and tricks

Need more Oxygen tools?: You can export the content from Inspire, edit the file in Oxygen, and then import it back into Inspire to continue managing and collaborating on the content.
Have existing XML files created in Oxygen?: You can import XML files into Inspire as components to not only edit them, but also to manage them using Inspire's content development, collaboration, and publishing workflow tools.
