Via the version history, you can view older versions of an element and restore them if required. |
|
|
A new version of an element is saved to the version history each time a new version of the element is saved to the empower® Library. If you copy and paste an element, the new version will have its own version history. It does not inherit the copied element's version history. |
|
|
To view the version history of an element, right-click on the element. A context menu opens. In the context menu, click on the option (Figure 1, “Option in Element Context Menu”). |
|
|
The version history opens in a new window (Figure 2, “Window ”). |
|
|
In the window , you can see a timeline of all available versions on the left. You can also view the editor as well as the saving date and time for each version. The current version is highlighted (Figure 3, “Highlight for Current Version”). On the right-hand side, you can see a preview of the element version. |
|
|
If the user who saved a version has left a version comment, this comment is displayed underneath the slide preview (Figure 4, “Version Comment”). |
|
|
To insert the current version into your presentation, click on the button (Figure 5, “Button for Current Version”). |
|
|
To download the current version to your device, open the drop-down menu for the split button and click on the option . |
Note
Alternatively, you can access the version history of an element via the navigation bar in the empower® Library.
Note
To view the version history, the permission role Reader is sufficient. To restore a version, you need have Editor or Administrator permissions.
For further information regarding the permission concept, see Permission Concept.
Note
The version history is available for single elements and slides but not for presentations.
The version history is not available for elements that originate from integrations such as Icons8 or Unsplash.
|
If you select an older version of the element, you have further options. |
|
|
Similar to the current version, click on the button to insert the older version into your open presentation (Figure 6, “Button for Old Version”). |
|
|
To restore the selected version, click on the button (Figure 7, “Button ”). The older version will be restored and replaces the current version in the empower® Library. The current version is not deleted but will still be displayed in the timeline and can be restored if required. Afterwards, you can insert this version into your presentation from the library. |
|
|
To compare one of the older versions with the current version, select the older version and click on the button (Figure 8, “Button ”). |
|
|
The older version is shown on the left and the current version is shown on the right (Figure 9, “Comparison”). |
|
|
In the comparing view, you can also show the differences between the two versions. To do so, switch the toggle button to On (Figure 10, “Toggle Button ”). |
|
|
The differences will be highlighted in yellow (Figure 11, “Comparison with Highlights”). |
|
|
To delete an older version from the timeline, select the version and click on the button (Figure 12, “Button ”). A dialog box opens. |
|
|
To confirm the deletion, click on the button (Figure 13, “Dialog Box for Deletion”). The selected version will be removed from the timeline. |
|
|
To open advanced settings for the version history, click on the button (Figure 14, “Button ”). A drop-down menu opens. The button is available for the current version as well as for the older versions. |
|
|
In the drop-down menu, you have two additional options (Figure 15, “Drop-Down Menu for Button for Unlocked Version”). |
