View Vault History

Viewing vault history allows you to see the contents of the vault as it existed at a specific moment in time: its documents, revisions, references, content, and so on.

ClosedPowerWeb Procedures

Use these steps for PowerWeb. To access this feature, you must enable viewing the vault at a baseline in your personal preferences.

This feature was added in the 2022 release.

To view vault history:

  1. Click the Now filter to the right of the Collections menu.

    A menu opens.

  2. Select Go to specific date or time.

    The Go to Date/Time window opens.

  3. Use the fields to select the date and time you want to view.

  4. Click OK.

    The vault is opened to the date and time you selected. The Now filter is replaced with the date and time you selected, and the background of the page changes to a light gray to indicate you are viewing the vault in the past. All editing commands are disabled.

  5. Choose between two options:

    • To return to viewing the vault in the present time:

      1. Click the history filter.

        This filter is labeled with the date and time you are currently viewing.

        A menu opens.

      2. Select Now.

        The vault is returned to the present time.

    • To view another point in the past:

      1. Click the history filter.

        This filter is labeled with the date and time you are currently viewing.

        A menu opens.
