Version history in Upchain

Upchain’s document and folder version tracking gives you control over how you manage your content and provides full visibility into the history of that document or folder. With Upchain, you can check documents out to prevent others from making changes while you work; check documents in to save your changes and create a new document version; and cancel checkouts to discard your changes. All versions of a document are maintained and easily accessible for anyone with the permission to do so.

In a document’s detail pane, the History history tab tab contains information about when the document was changed, who changed it, and information about what was changed. You can download any version of a document/folder to your computer with just a few clicks.

View all versions of a document or folder

A document version is incremented by one when someone checks it out and checks it back into Upchain. A folder version increments by one when the contents of that folder changes, including when a new document is added, removed, renamed, or checked out and checked back in. For every document change you can enter a change description when you check the document in.

To view all previous versions of a document or folder:

  1. Click the chevrons (chevron.png) beside the category and folders until you locate the document for which you want to view its history.

  2. Select the desired document.

    The document's detail pane opens.

  3. Open the History history tab tab.

Here you'll see a table with all versions listed. For each version in the table, you can see who created it, when it was changed, and what was changed.

Download an old version of a document or folder

To download an old version of a document or folder:

  1. Click the chevrons (chevron.png) beside the category and folders until you locate the document you want to download a previous version.

  2. Select the desired document.

    The document's detail pane opens.

  3. Open the History history tab tab.

  4. Click the version icon in the left-most column for the version you want to download.

Depending on your browser, you can choose where to download the document or folder. Otherwise, the download begins.

Note: If you have chosen to download a folder and the folder contains at least one document or subfolder, your browser zips all documents together in the folder and downloads this to your specified location. The document zip document is named the same as your email address. Decompress the zip document to access the contents of the downloaded folder.
