4.3.3 Creating a variant on a document

When adding a new variant to a document, this can be done in two ways:

1. from scratch
2. based on the content of (a certain version of) an existing variant

When you opt for the second option (which is mostly done when creating branch-variants) then the (branch,language,version)-triple from which the content is taken will be stored as part of the new variant, so that later on you can see from where this variant "branched" (in the Daisy Wiki, this information is shown on the version list page).

In the Daisy Wiki, there is an "Add Variant" action that allows to add a new variant to a document.
