Working with document versions

Before you can use the “Versioning” feature, you must configure the relevant workspace types, item types and workspaces accordingly.

Creating and editing versions

To create a new version of a document, click the “Version” button (A) at the top of the wiki toolbar. Optionally, provide a short description of the version. The HEAD and this version are identical immediately after saving. You can view this version again at any time later, compare it with other versions and make the version the HEAD again.

Clicking the “Versions” button (B) or using the context menu (C, D) opens a window with a list of all available versions of this document.

Restoring a version

You can restore any version from the list shown above. It thereby becomes the new HEAD. To restore a version, click the corresponding button (A). The current HEAD is lost as a result.

Deleting a version

You can delete any version from the list shown above. It thereby becomes the new HEAD. To delete a version, click the corresponding button (C).

Comparing versions

From the version overview list, you can compare any versions with one another. When you click the B button of a version, it is compared with the current HEAD. The comparison window offers further options. Menu item A allows you to switch between the side-by-side view and the in-text view of changes.

Using the selection boxes B and C, you can set any versions in order to compare them with one another.

Searching versions

The full-text search in the wiki searches not only the current HEAD but also previous versions. The search results are displayed separately from one another.
