Revision History

Studio Project files are automatically archived every time a new revision is checked in. The Revision History menu provides per-file access to this archive, allowing you to view previous revisions.

Note: Only file revisions created using Vu 11.5 or later can be viewed. Other file revisions will still appear in Revision History, but are only shown for tracking purposes.

ClosedViewing Revision History

To view a document's previous versions:

Right-click the desired document in the Project list and select Revision History. The Revision History dialog box appears with all previous versions listed.

Each file listed in the Revision History dialog box is numbered, with Revision #1 being the file’s initial upload. The latest revision, representing the current state of the document, will appear bolded at the top of the list.

ClosedViewing Previous File Revisions

Each revision, including the latest, can be opened and viewed in a read-only state.

To open a previous version of a document:

  1. Right-click the desired document in the Project list and select Revision History. The Revision History dialog box appears with all previous versions listed.
  2. Select the desired version and click Open Revision. The revision will open in its native application with the revision number automatically appended to its file name.

Note: If opening a revision of a PDF file, the icon will appear in the file’s tab within Vu. Click this icon and select Revision History to return to the Revision History dialog box.
