Viewing Object History

Viewing Object History

The history of an object is a record of all of the versions of an object stored in the repository, going back to the initial version, version number one. You can view user changes to an object, the date and time of changes, and comments associated with and labels applied to each version. If you or another user purges a version from the repository, the object history retains a record of the version in the object history and specifies the user who purged the version.
You can view object history in the Designer, Repository Manager, and Workflow Manager.
To view object version history in the Repository Manager, right-click the object in the Main window or the Navigator and click Versioning > View History.
Use the following methods to view the object version history in the Designer or Workflow Manager:
  • Right-click the object in the Navigator and click Versioning > View History.
  • Right-click the object in the workspace and click Versioning > View History.
  • Select the object in the workspace and click Versioning > View History from the menu.
When you click View History, the View History window displays the object version history.
The following table lists additional tasks you can perform from the View History window:
