Version Control

Version Control automatically stores previous asset versions every time an asset is changed. This allows current files to be reverted to previous iterations.

On the Asset Action Menu, click More > Versions.
 

The webpage will reload and the Version Control Detail Page displays.
 

The Last Modified Date, Last Modified By, and Comments (if any) are listed on the Version Control Detail Page.  Click the asset name for a previous version to view it.

The page displays in Layout View and an additional View Menu displays.

 

Various Version Control options display in the View Menu.  From the View Menu, you can:

  • View the Newer version of the asset.

  • View the Older version of the asset.

  • View the Current version of the asset.

  • Activate the version. When Activate is clicked, the activated version will replace the current active version of the asset. Activating an older version of an asset will create another version of the asset that was just replaced.

  • Delete the version of the asset. This action should not be used.

  • Compare the selected version of the asset with the current active version of the asset. When Compare with Current is active, the following colors are used:

    • Red Highlights with Strikethrough: Text that has been removed.

    • Green Highlights: Text that has been added.

    • Purple Highlights: Link that has been changed for highlighted text.
