BSCW lets you download earlier versions of a document under version control in two ways: by directly specifying its URL or by picking the version in the documents's info page:

• Click  Info   for a particular document to display its info page. It contains a section Version history and, for a document in a version branch, another section called Related branches. The tables contain one row per version that shows their author, state and date of creations plus any change descriptions available.
• Click its version number in the Id column to download a version.

You may access (download) an earlier version directly via a URL. General information on the URL of a BSCW object you will find in section 4.11. For a Document under version control, you have to add its version number to its URL in order to access a specific older version:

http://<your-bscw-server>/bscw/bscw.cgi/d23456/AnnualReport.doc?version=1.13

is appended to the address of the current version of the document.

Note:

You cannot make any changes to older versions of a document under version control, unless you branch out from the version that you want to edit (see 4.8.4) and modify the branch version.
