4.4.4.2.8 Versioning

The Versioning section provides users with additional key information about objects. It is divided into two accordions:

1. Current Version
   • Displays the version being viewed and the date of the latest modification.
   • Displays information about the latest published version’s completed approval and endorsement cycles.

2. Version History
   • Provides detailed information on previous versions of an object, tracking all modifications, approvals, and publications.
   • The grid includes the following columns:
     • Version Number: Displays the current and previous version numbers of the object. Clickable links to previous versions allow users to browse and revert as needed.
       

       **Non-clickable versions indicate a status change without any content modifications. The complete version history is maintained to ensure no data is lost, documenting every action (edit, approve, publish, etc.) performed on the object. This ensures easy access to all information without complex procedures.

     • Status: Shows the current state of each version (e.g., In Progress, Published, Approved).
     • Cycles History: Displays the approval and endorsement cycle history for the corresponding version.
     • Author: Indicates the user who created or modified the version.
     • Date: Shows when the version was created or last modified.
     • Published Comment: Captures the comment added during the publication process.
     • Approval Request Comment: Captures comments made when the object was sent for approval.
