Copy link to specific object version in history

Dear All

In previous versions of M-Files we were able to create a link to specific version via an objects history. This option is no longer available, can it be reinstated please?

Best Regards

  • Hi,

    Though not explicitly stated in the dialogue; when I click "Create Visitor Link for Anyone" on a previous version of an object in the object's history, it will share that specific version through the link.

    You can try this out for yourself by creating the link and opening it in a private browser window.

  • Hi,

    We are encountering the same problem as bwill1980

    It was previously possible using various methods including the Get Hyperlink (Desktop Client) to get the URL / link to a specific version of a document by navigating to the History. With the recent changes to the interface, this feature has disappeared.

    The "Copy Link", only supports link to latest version, and is not available when viewing the Object History. The same applies to the "Copy Visitor Link".

    Working in a  very strict configuration management environment, this feature was vital to us and allowed us to point to the exact version of a document that belonged to a specific baseline, that triggered a change, was the result of a change etc.

    Can this be re-instated, or is the same feature available through a different means?
