File Show History Dialog

The Show History dialog shows version details about a selected unstructured file, and allows you to perform actions on versions.

The Object field shows the icon of the file type (for example, for a PDF file), then the file name and extension. Following the file name the field displays the file description, if present. Click Browse to navigate to and select a different object.

The table contains a row for each version of the file that has been checked in. Columns indicate details about the versions, including when it was checked in or saved, who changed the object, the Version Note (if supplied), and any snapshot labels applied to the version. See Version Record for an Unstructured File.

If you select a version record in the table, you can perform several actions on the version:
