I've created an output format based on the DITA-OT pdf2 output format and in properties for the output format, there is no option to compare publication versions, or to enable draft comments. What do I need to do to make them be available?

Hi Kendall,
In the metadataconfig.xml (filepath <drive-letter>:\Infoshare\Web<project-suffix>\Author\ASP\ClientConfig) file there are conditions set on the reference to the 'PublicationOutput.DraftOptionsGroup'.
This conditional syntax is referencing towards the (case-sensitive) output format labels.
So please extend the ishcondition attribute value used on the configuration to visualize the DraftOptionsGroup and the options should show up in the UI.
Out of the box the following is available
<ishfrmgroup ref="PublicationOutput.DraftOptionsGroup" ishcondition="OutputFormat in ('PDF (A4 Manual)', 'PDF (A5 Booklet)', 'PDF (letter Manual)', 'PDF (XPP A4)', 'PDF (XPP A5)', 'PDF (XPP letter)')" />
You can include any new value as shown below for the dummy value 'My Ouputformat Label'
<ishfrmgroup ref="PublicationOutput.DraftOptionsGroup" ishcondition="OutputFormat in ('PDF (A4 Manual)', 'PDF (A5 Booklet)', 'PDF (letter Manual)', 'PDF (XPP A4)', 'PDF (XPP A5)', 'PDF (XPP letter)', 'My Outputformat Label')" />
Kind Regards,
Raf
