Within Teamwork.com, you can create and manage multiple versions of notebooks on your projects.

This article relates to a new version of the Notebooks editor which is currently in an early release phase for some Teamwork.com accounts.

Note: Only project members with access to the notebook and permission to edit notebooks can create and manage versions.


Creating new versions of a notebook


Edits made to an existing notebook can be published as a new version or saved over the current version.

While viewing a notebook in edit mode, the publish button will be set to Publish as new version by default.

Each version will detail the date and time it was published along with the name of the user that created that particular version.




Viewing changes between versions


At the top of the versions list, you can toggle the Show changes option to compare changes.

While viewing a previous version in the version history, any changes to the notebook compared with the current version will be highlighted.

  • The text in the selected version is being compared to the text in the Current Version.
  • Content highlighted green is text in the selected older version that the current version does not have.
    • If you restore this selected older version, any green highlighted content will be added.
  • Content highlighted red is  text the selected older version does not have that the current version does contain.
    • If you restore this selected older version, any red highlighted content will be removed.
