## 9.11. Viewing Revision History

Objects under version control have a revision history that can be displayed using the Revision History display tab. The revision history contains information about the object's stored versions.

Figure 9.4: Revision History - Ancestors of Current Version

You can display the revision history in two different views: an Ancestors of Current Version view and an All Versions view. In the Ancestors view, only the versions that the current version is derived from are shown. In the All Versions view, versions from all branches are shown. (Figure 9.4: Revision History - Ancestors of Current Version)

Note: Both of the revision history displays will show only those versions in which the object was modified. Thus, if you are viewing the revision history of a file that is contained in a folder under version control, only those versions will be shown that have had content or metadata modified. This is done so that you do not see a long list of versions when an object has rarely changed.

Version information is displayed in both diagram and table format. Click the nodes of the diagram to view the corresponding stored versions. Mouse-over nodes of the diagram to view the paths of the corresponding stored versions. The table displays information pertaining to the user who checked in the versions, the check in date, and comment (if any). You can filter the table according to any of the displayed properties. For details see Filtering the View. Click the versions in the table to view the corresponding stored versions. Multiple versions in the table are selectable using the right-click context menu. You can create a comparison report, edit the version, and email a link containing the selected version information.
