Structured Document Show History Dialog

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

The Object field displays a structured document icon (for example, ), then indicates the file name of the selected structured document. Following the file name the field displays the file description, if present. You can click Browse and navigate to a different object.

The table contains a row for each version of the document 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 a Structured Document

Note: Some XML Editors allow a user to save a file, but not check it in yet. You may see rows for saved versions that are not checked in. See Saving a Structured Document in the Repository Without Checking it In.

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

Action	Description
View	Displays an HTML rendering of the document version.
Copy	Places a URL on your clipboard. Paste the URL into a Browser window to see an XML file for the structured document.
Properties	Displays the Properties of the structured document.
Compare Compare Raw XML Compare with Current	If you select two version records and click Compare, you can compare the contents of the two versions. With two versions selected, if you click Compare Raw XML, the Browse view will display the comparison of the xml. If you select one version and click Compare with Current, you can compare the contents of the older version with the current version. The differences are displayed in a Browse window. Changes appear in red text. Underlined text has been added in a the newer version. Text in strikeout format has been deleted in the newer version. Moved text appears in colored boxes. A yellow box shows the location in the older version. A green box shows the location in the newer version. A system administrator can optionally enable the compare feature to display XML attribute differences. Attributes whose value did not change are not displayed.
Edit Read Only	If Oxygen Editor is configured as your external editor, clicking this button loads the selected version of the structured document in the Oxygen desktop editor.
Roll Forward	Allow you to make the content of the selected version the current content. This action creates a new version record. See Rolling Forward an Object Version. Note: This option is visible only to group members who are authorized to execute the Roll Forward command.

Below the table are options to filter the object display:

Option	Description
Element	Displays all checkins in which the root element of a structured document has changed. Note: To view snapshot labels on a structured document, you must select the Element option.
Lock Unit	Displays all checkins for the locking unit to which the element belongs, regardless of whether or not the element has changed in that checkin. View the contents of an element by selecting a record in which the element has not changed, then click View. You can also view the descendent elements of the selected element, which has changed at that check-in.
Document	Displays the checkins for all locking units in the containing document of the element. For documents that have only one locking unit, the Lock Unit and Document options provide similar information.
Display only checkin stamps	Select the check box to display only checkin version records. If the check box is cleared, you can see records showing when the file was saved but not checked in.
