Previous versions

The version counter starts after the first time that a record is saved. Selecting View Related Data > View Versions opens the MD Editor in split screen mode, displaying the Versions tab in the right pane.

Version: 1 indicates that the record has had its first modification. For subsequent modifications, the version number increases.

Current version

In order to see the timestamp and the cataloger ID of the current version, hover over the icon, which is available -

  • in the MDE header bar (icon no. 16 History of the record), and
  • in the read-only Record View from repository search results

Current version information as displayed in the MDE:

Same information as displayed in the Record View:

Tip

Click on the iconImage Added to display the name associated with the PU ID. This is the person who last touched and saved the record.


No versions

View Versions concerns only previous versions you can restore.

If no modification has been made to a record and saved to the repository, then there are no previous verisions to display - and there is nothing to restore.

The wording "no versions" can be misleading. What it really means is "no previous versions were found." What you have opened is the initial and only version of the record.

All the legacy records migrated from Voyager into Alma will display this alert until a modification has been made and saved to the repository.
