Overview:
There is no clickable link to previous versions of a document displaying in the Timeline View.
Root Cause:
The document's lifecycle is set to remove previous minor versions. No recordable action occurred in the workflow for the document's previous major version.
Solution:
This feature is working as designed. Minor changes such as a metadata change on a document do not appear in the Timeline View.
For example, if a document has its metadata changed and a new draft of the document is uploaded, there is no entry in the Timeline View of the document.
A document may meet the following criteria:
- Goes through a workflow, or something similar when in a minor version
- Is promoted to a major version
- The Lifecycle is set to remove minor versions
In these instances, the document's minor version appears in the Timeline View, but there would be no clickable link to the minor version because it was removed by the system in Vault.
