Add new feature into versioned dataset - is this the correct way?

BACKGROUND INFO:

ArcSDE 9.3.1, MS SQL Server 2003, ArcEditor 10.0
Geodatabase version hierarchy: DEFAULT(protected) <-> EDITS(public) <-> Editor1, Editor2, Editor3
The "editor's" periodically reconcile/post to EDITS which is yearly reconciled/posted to DEFAULT by the "SDE" user.
I would like to add additional features to a dataset containing versioned features. These newly added features will be versioned as well.

THE GENERAL ?correct? "PROCEDURE"

Backup the geodatabase
Through ArcCatalog through the "database owner" connection (the user who maintains the geodatabase data)
Add new feature(s) to versioned dataset (e.g. import feature(s))
Re-Register the dataset as versioned (r-click dataset and select "Register as Versioned" - which sets-up the new features as versioned)

Let me know if more information is needed on user geodatabase permissions, I'll try to explain.

Thank you.

Hi Bruce,

This procedure is correct. Any time a new feature class is added to a feature dataset, the feature dataset will then need to be registered again. Also, any necessary permissions will need to be re-granted to the feature dataset. See the version 10 help link(still applicable to pre-10 but a little easier to read)..............

Hope this helps.

The procedure went well. The only "warning" to display was "moving edits to base" when re-registering the version. This is normal because some features participate in a topology. See the last dialog in ESRI's help system at: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00270000000t000000.htm

If this data will be used within replication...

Thank you, but no replication(s) here, just very basic versioned data.

One addendum...

If this data will be used within replication be sure to "Add GlobalIds". Usually this is done to the entire feature data set upon creation but will need to be re-run to apply to the new feature class.

Thanks Ken,

I appreciate the help and reminding me about the permissions. I'll try this very soon.
