How to use version history to access all previous versions of a sent smart file

Updated over 3 months ago

If you ever need to go back and view a previous version of a sent smart file, you can do just that.

  1. Find the file you'd like to review the version history of by:

    1. Searching using the search bar

    2. Or, locating the file from within the corresponding project’s Activity or Files tabs

  2. From the top navigation bar of the smart file, click [number of] Versions

  3. You’ll be brought to the most recently-shared version of the file, with a detailed version history in the right-side toolbar where you'll see:

    1. Previous versions that were shared with clients

    2. Any active draft versions of the file (this is perfect for if you or your teammate start working on a draft, then need to come back to it at a later time)

  4. From the right-side toolbar, select the version of the file you’d like to view

The selected version of your smart file will open, where you can edit if it's a draft, or review the content and export pages as PDFs if it was previously shared with the project participants.

📣 Note

Version history exists only for smart files sent in projects. Version history is not available to clients and external collaborators; they'll see only the most recently-published version of the file.
