Edit the contentModel.xml file to enable versioning for all content in the repository.

  1. Download the contentModel.xml file.
  2. Create a $TOMCAT\_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/models directory.
  3. In the contentModel.xml file, search for <type name="cm:content">, and immediately after the closing </properties> tag, insert the following lines to make the content versionable: 
     <mandatory-aspects>
     <aspect>cm:versionable</aspect>
 </mandatory-aspects>
  4. Copy the edited contentModel.xml file to the $TOMCAT\_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/models directory.
  5. Add a Spring context file to $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension with the following lines: 
     <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
 <!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>

 <beans>
     <bean parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
         <property name="models">
             <list>
                 <value>alfresco/extension/models/contentModel.xml</value>
             </list>
         </property>
     </bean>
 </beans>
  6. Save the file.
  7. Restart the Content Service server.
The uploaded content now has the cm:versionable aspect.
