RESOLUTION

To create a document workspace, follow these steps:

1. Open the Home page.
2. In the left pane, click Manage Content, and then click the name of the document library.
3. Move the mouse in the document, click the Edit arrow, and then click Create Document Workspace.

After you complete these steps, the "Create Document Workspace" page appears and informs you that a copy of this document will be stored in the new workspace. From the new workspace, you can publish the document back to its original location.

Additionally, the "Create Document Workspace" page lists the file name and the location of the document workspace. If you click Save and Close, the document workspace is created as a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services site. The following URL is an example of a similar URL that is created when the document workspace is created as a Windows SharePoint Services site: Note In this example, the <servername> placeholder is the name of the Windows SharePoint Services server. The <Your title here> placeholder is the name of your file Note that spaces in the document title will be marked by the following characters:For example, to open the document workspace of a file that is named Cost Benefit Analysis, you must type the title of the document in the address bar behind the root URL for the portal.

You can use the Stsadm command-line tool to see the document workspaces. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. At the command line, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

   cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\bin

• To see the document workspaces, use the following syntax:

  stsadm -o enumsubwebs -url http://<servername>

  Note In this syntax, the <servername> placeholder is the root of the portal site.
• To delete the document workspaces, use the following syntax:

  stsadm -o deleteweb -url http://<servername>/<documentname>

  Note In this syntax, the <servername> placeholder is the name of the SharePoint server. The <documentname> placeholder is your document. If the document name has spaces in it, you must wrap the URL in double-quotes.

Additionally, you can create the document workspace in a Team Site site collection outside the portal site.
