This post is part of a series of articles that will introduce some noteworthy improvements to eXo Platform 4.4<\/a>. Watch this blog for more product news in the upcoming weeks.<\/i><\/p>\n

Collaboration around documents remains a critical aspect of enterprise workflows. Hence, delivering a frictional-less user experience around document life cycles is important for us.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why, in line with recent simplifications<\/a> of the document versioning functionality, Platform 4.4 is introducing a redesign of the user interface that allows you to manage the version history of documents<\/strong>.
\n
\nTo use the new interface, simply open any document in the Documents<\/strong><\/span> app<\/strong> and click the Versions<\/strong><\/span> button<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

\"Versions<\/a><\/p>\n

First, the new interface makes better use of your screen real estate to display a table of all versions recorded for this document. The most recent versions are at the top and you can see who has made the changes and when.<\/p>\n

If you have edit permission on the document, you can create a summary of the changes by double-clicking in the summary column:<\/p>\n

\"Summary<\/a><\/p>\n

Other useful actions are available depending on your permissions, such as deleting or reverting a former version or previewing it in the comfortable and now familiar full-page preview interface:<\/p>\n

\"eXo<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, you can compare two versions by selecting them and clicking Compare selected versions<\/span>:<\/p>\n

\"Compare<\/a><\/p>\n

The comparison interface will appear as a full page, highlighting the differences between the two versions.<\/p>\n

\"eXo<\/a><\/p>\n

Things that were added are displayed in green and things that were removed are displayed in red. From this interface, you can also navigate through the document version history<\/strong> to get a better understanding of what changed in the making of this document.<\/p>\n

Tell us what you think<\/h2>\n

As usual, these improvements can be previewed immediately on the Tribe<\/a> and in the latest milestone of eXo Platform 4.4 Community Edition<\/a>. Let us know what you think. We\u2019d love to hear your feedback.<\/p>\n
