2.3.5 Naming an archive for output

On the Archive Name and Version page, you can name an archive file for the output from a conversion. The base name of the archive file is a concatenation of the archive name and the archive version: NameVersion.zip.

The default archive name is the name of the map file selected for the current project; the default archive version is the name of the output type for the current project. For example, the default name for a conversion from the Omni Systems DITA test suite to WinHelp would be DITATestSuitewinhelp.zip. If you expect to produce future updates of the same project, you might want to use the project name for the archive name, and an incremental version number for the archive version; for example, DTS2WH_01.zip.

Use only letters, digits, and underscores in the archive name and version settings.

Most likely you will want to apply these settings to the current project only, rather than to all outputs from the current DITA source document.
