Autocomplete in Publication Manager Should Include Options to Use Branches

The Autocomplete functionality in Publication Manager does not recognize branches, and does not offer them to users.

When a user attempts to roll up to the latest versions/branches of all files in a publication using AutoComplete, Publication Manager ignores the available branched files (3.1.1, etc), and even suggests that saved files using branches should revert to the previous full-number version.

This results in missed roll-ups and requires users to individually review all file versions and manually roll-up to later branches, as needed. This is time-consuming and error-prone.

The Autocomplete window currently contains these options:

-Latest released versions

-Latest available versions

-First versions

It would be helpful if the options were reworded and expanded to:

-Most recently released versions and branches

-Most recently available versions and branches

-Oldest versions and branches
