Creating a User Checkpoint in History

You can checkpoint an object to place a marker in the object’s history.

About this task

After you have created a checkpoint, you can easily identify that point in the object’s history. You can use checkpoints to view the previous version of an object or to restore the object to the previous version.

Procedure

  1. Click the object to which you want to add a checkpoint.
  2. Click Edit > Checkpoint.
    A Checkpoint window appears.
  3. Complete the Name and Comment fields.
    The data in these fields appear in the History window for the object. A unique name and comment allow you to easily identify the version in the object’s history.
  4. Click OK.

    You cannot checkpoint all objects. For example, you cannot checkpoint the workpool. The checkpoint option is dimmed if the object can not be checkpointed.
