How do automatic updates propagate in Calenco?

Automatic propagation is based on the Single Source of Truth. Each reusable piece of content is stored in a reference module. When a writer edits that module, documents that include it can be regenerated with the new version.

One correction can therefore update a full set of documents, instead of opening every file to find each occurrence of the information. This reduces omissions and removes obsolete versions.

The following publication respects the configured stylesheets, languages, and output formats. Teams gain reliability, speed, and traceability, especially in large technical documentation sets.

In Calenco, automatic updating relies on the principle of a single source of truth: each piece of content is a reusable module stored in one place. When a writer modifies a source module, all documents that use it regenerate automatically. An entire documentation corpus can therefore be updated in one click, based on a change to the source module.

In practice, a single operation is enough to apply a change across all affected documents, regardless of their language or format. There is no longer any need to open each file to manually correct repeated information: the correction is made once and propagated everywhere. This is the exact opposite of copying and pasting in Word and traditional word processors, where each document must be revised separately.

This automation ensures that documents are always up to date, makes technical document production more reliable and drastically reduces turnaround times. The subsequent publication is also automatic, following the company's visual identity guidelines and covering all multi-format publishing formats (PDF, web, tablet).

Amphitech uses Calenco to automatically update its product sheets, dynamically reusing photos, diagrams and illustrations between sheets for the same models. This automation is also one of the factors that enable Pellenc to reduce its writing time by 50%.
