oXygen Integration

The oXygen plugin enables you to navigate, view, and edit resources in both systems.

Supported oXygen Products

You can integrate Heretto CCMS with the following oXygen products:

oXygen XML Author
oXygen XML Editor

For specific information about the supported oXygen versions, see https://github.com/Jorsek/oxygenxml-webdav.

Operation

The oXygen plugin plugin keeps your resources in sync while you work in each system. When you have a resource that is open in one system, a lock icon appears in the other system to prevent others from editing it. Once you close the resource, the lock is removed and other users can access the resource again.

The oXygen plugin uses the WebDAV protocol to communicate Heretto CCMS with oXygen.
