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   Info  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 — more on the URL of a BSCW object in general in 4.11. 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 (see 4.8.4) and modify the branch version.
