Revision history is saved for all annotations. For example, if a user creates a sticky note on page 1 of a document, the userId/date/time are recorded. If another use comes in and edits that same sticky note (color, size, placement, etc.) the userId/date/time is updated in a scrolling list to reflect the edit to that object.

This history applies to all annotations, image stamps and redactions, including:

  • Resizing/moving records as a change
  • Changing text records as a change
  • Page manipulations or moving pages with annotations to a new/other document will not record a change
  • The use of pages with annotations in a VD will record changes to the annotations
  • A modification will be added if the annotation is modified and then saved.
  • If the user changes the color, moves around the annotation, and expands the annotation, and then saves once, only one modification item will be saved.
  • If an annotation is pasted, it will have a clean slate–it won’t keep the modifications of the original.
  • If a document is saved-as, the annotations on the new document will still have a modification trail but will not add a new modification for the saving event.
