Accessing an earlier version
BSCW lets you access earlier versions of a document under version control by clicking the version number in the document’s info page or by directly entering its URL.
•
Select 
in the action menu of the document requested.
• The info page of the document contains a section Version History and, for a document with version branches, another section Related Branches. The tables show for each version date of creation, author, state and change description.
• Click the version number of the version you want to read or download.
You may access an earlier version directly via its URL (see 4.9 URLs for objects in workspaces on the URL of a BSCW object in general). For documents under version control, you append the version number to the normal URL for documents as shown in the following example:
http://your-bscw-server/bscw/bscw.cgi/d12345/report.doc?version=0.6
Note: You cannot make any changes to older versions of a document under version control unless you branch out from the version that you want to edit and modify the branch version.
