How to View a Document's History

See who changed or downloaded a specific document, and when.

Note: this is an activity log, not version restore

The History tab shows that a change or download happened (action type, timestamp, member, IP address, and — for changes — a short snippet of the previous value). It does not let you preview or restore an earlier version of the document's content.

Steps

1. In the Document Manager, select exactly one document using its row checkbox — the History tab is disabled until exactly one is selected.
2. Click the History tab.
3. Review the two panels:
   • Changes — every recorded change action, each with a timestamp, the member who made it, their IP address, and (if available) a snippet of the prior value.
   • Downloads — every time the document was downloaded, by whom, and from what IP.
4. Use the Prev/Next buttons and the page-size selector under each panel to page through longer histories.

What you'll see

You get a full audit trail for the document without leaving the Document Manager.
