Viewing history

The history of a document includes all of the actions that have been performed on that major version like:

  • Created
  • Viewed
  • Status changes
  • Sent via email (with or without attachment files)
  • Linked and unlinked
  • Files uploaded and deleted

History is saved for each document major version separately and can be viewed as described in Viewing prior versions. Each action includes the date and time that the action was performed and the name of the user who performed the action.

To view the history of a document:

  1. Open the property page of the item as described in Viewing and editing document properties.
  2. In the Document group, click History. A page listing the base properties appears. The history of the item is listed under Document history.
