Viewing requirement document snapshots

You can view a historical document version, or snapshot, and compare it to the current document version or another snapshot to compare differences.

Snapshots are read-only and you can only perform the following actions on them:

  • Enter requirement and document review workflow events, such as Review Note and Comment. Requirement events are only available in open documents.
  • View and download files attached to the current document version
  • View paths to source control files attached to the current document version
  • View, send, and reply to email

1. Click the Snapshots tab when you are editing or viewing document details.

The snapshots are displayed.

2. Click a snapshot number or name to view it.

The snapshot opens in a new Viewing Requirement Document page. All information in the document at the time the snapshot was created is displayed. Information on the following tabs is limited:

  • Workflow—Displays activities performed on the snapshot and previous snapshots only.
  • Files—Displays only files and source control files attached to the current document version.
  • Folders—Not displayed. Only the current document version can be in a folder.
  • History—Displays the document history from the date it was created to the date the snapshot was created only.

Note:   Snapshot details are displayed on the left side of the page. Click Diff with current to view the differences between the snapshot and the current document version. See Viewing all changes between requirement document snapshots.
