After I have installed the newest version of ePublisher, but before I maintain any overrides, I like to run an out-of-the-box test. To do this, I create a fresh project in ePublisher that has no changes or customizations at all (or as few as possible). I add a representative sample of source documents to the project. I also examine the release notes for information about new functionality or fixes that might make my overrides redundant.

When I examine this default output, it gives me an idea of what overrides I can expect to keep and what I can expect to remove from my project. It also gives me feedback about other adjustments that I might need to make to my project either through the user interface, or by creating new overrides.
