View File History

The File History icon links to a window that displays a file’s details, versioning, and other history through two tabs (Main and History).

To view a file’s details or history:

  1.  Click the History icon.

  2. The Main and History tabs show information about the selected file.

  3. When more than one version of a file exists, click on the version number from the Go to Version selections.

  1. The Main tab lists the file's details, which are editable by the user who uploaded the file and administrators only.

  2. The History tab lists activity history for the file. Information for each event (such as viewed, downloaded, markup up, etc.), includes the name of the user who performed the action, and date and time it occurred.

  1. To open the file in the viewer, click the thumbnail image contained in the upper left corner of the view history screen (or click the file name link in the Main or History tab).

 Events such as copying, moving, versioning, and batch stamping can result in a file’s history being split between the earlier and later copies or versions of the file.
