Viewing Document History

When documents are added and updated within the Metemation repository, Metamation automatically keeps all previous versions available for historical reference. Access to any document will by default, always return the latest version. However, it is possible to see the history of versions and view the historical copies of the documents.

When a document is selected either from one of the document search options or from the My Documents list from the home or "nodal view" screens, selecting any part of the document (reference, name, version etc) will take you to the properties display for the selected document.

Within this display, the properties (version, description, status and synopsis) for the current version will be displayed. The current version of the document can then be viewed by pressing the Read document ) icon.

Where previous versions exist, against the current version number, a Document History button will be available. Selecting this will display a pop-up window of the previous versions of the document detailing the previous version numbers, who saved the version, date of creation and submission etc. Selecting any previous version with the mouse pointer will open that version of the document for reading or saving.
