Once a file is uploaded to Swivle it can undergo many changes: it can be checked-out, checked-in, its content can be changed, it can be approved, its name can be changed, and so on. 

It is important to be aware of which changes have been made to a file, by whom they were made, when they were made, and also to be able to restore changes when needed.

The History panel shows the version and history information of a single file.

It can be accessed by clicking its icon in the toolbar on the right side of the page.

A version of a file is created whenever it is checked-in in Swivle — either through Swivle or Swivle for InDesign. You can view the versions of a selected file in the Versions tab. The versions tab shows the following information about a version:

For each version, you can click the menu button to either Download, Revert, or Delete the version (see figure below).

You can always revert a file to a previous version by clicking the menu button on a version and then choosing the Revert option. In the window that appears you can optionally add a comment, and then click Save. Swivle then restores the reverted version as a new version. 

Any changes to the metadata that are made for a file as well as the actions that are performed on a file can be viewed in the Full History tab of the panel.

Changes and actions are ordered by the time period in which they were made (today, yesterday, 2 weeks ago, and so on).

Shown is the name of the action or the metadata field that is changed together with the value that it is changed to.
​
To quickly see when a change was made and by whom, hover the mouse pointer over an item to make a tooltip appear with that information.
