History

You can use the History option, when you want to save additional information in each style file. This information allows following up or retrieving the positioning of a file at a specific point of time.

This command gives the possibility to create a History Log for each style and track the people that made changes to a file according to dates. Two options are offered. One enables you to add text description to the file, The second option enables you to make a file generation with the ‘Save’ command allowing the possibility to in the future retrieve the file layout at certain stages in the design process.

Note: Enabling and saving file history greatly increases the file size; therefore it is recommended to not save information that is not going to be used, or delete it before production.
