    <p>I am working on a data export from Sitecore, from the master database. It gets data from items of a certain type and puts it into custom XML. I am able to generate the XML I need but now the client has asked that instead of returning data from the most recent version it return data from the version that would be published if the site was published at the time the export was performed. </p> <p>The nature of the site is that it must be published on a regular but infrequent basis (once a year, I believe) but the data will be maintained continuously and anything approved in Sitecore needs to be added to another system, so doing the export from the web database is not an option, unfortunately. I am hoping to hook into whatever mechanism Sitecore uses to decide which version goes to the Web DB when/if publishing happens without actually publishing.</p> <p>I have looked at <code>Item.Publishing.GetValidVersion</code>, <code>IsValid</code>, and <code>IsPublishable</code> but have been unsuccessful in putting them to use. I have read the Sitecore docs for those methods but the description just says "Gets the valid version." and I am not sure what it means by "valid". </p> <p>Here is my latest attempt:</p> <pre><code>foreach (Sitecore.Data.ID courseId in courseIds) { Sitecore.Data.Items.Item course = master.GetItem(courseId); string initialVersion = course.Version.ToString(); if (course != null &amp; course.Parent.Name != "Narrative-Courses") { course = course.Publishing.GetValidVersion(DateTime.Now, true, true); string finalVersion = course.Version.ToString(); if (initialVersion != finalVersion) { log(course.Name + ": " + initialVersion + ", " + finalVersion); } if (course != null) { //add xml for this item ... </code></pre> <p>My log is blank and my XML includes the highest number version of each item, regardless of workflow state. When an item has version 1 in an Approved state and version 2 in a Draft state, I only get version 2 in the XML.</p> <p>Am I misinterpreting what those methods are for or just misusing them?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
