You can use the artifact history viewer to view the history
of most artifacts. A revision is created each time you save an artifact.
Read-only revisions are organized by time period (today, yesterday,
past week, past month, earlier). You can restore a previous revision
to the latest revision. Additionally, you can use the history viewer
to see the artifact revisions that were captured in project snapshot.
Procedure
- To view the revision history of an artifact:
- Open an artifact.
- In the artifact editor, click the down arrow (
) in the heading at the artifact name and
select Open History. A history view of the
artifact opens, with each revision represented by a revision icon
. If the artifact is part of a snapshot, a snapshot icon (
) also appears in the history viewer timeline. Note: Snapshot
nodes differ from revision nodes in that a revision node is only created
when a specific artifact is saved. Snapshot nodes appear whenever
a project snapshot is created. Consequently, a snapshot node does
not create a new revision, but uses the revision that existed when
the snapshot was created.
- Hover over a revision icon or snapshot icon in one of the time
groups for details.
- Click a revision icon to open that revision or click a snapshot
icon to see the revision of the artifact that was captured in a snapshot.
- Close the history view to return to the artifact editor.
- To restore a previous revision to the latest revision,
open a previous revision, click the artifact name in the top of the
editor, and click Restore <date and time>.
- Other things you can do from the artifact history viewer
include:
- Copying the link to a specific version by selecting the version,
clicking the name of the artifact and choosing Copy Link.
- Opening the current version of the artifact from the same menu.
- When viewing the history of external artifacts, there is
a separate history for the content of the artifact and the container,
which includes the name, attributes, comments, and links.
