Notes


  • This table editing tracking only works from the last paragraph versions present in documents when release 2023.4 was deployed to the instance.

Data Connections

  • If Document A has an ongoing data connection to a template, and a DOCX file is used to upload Document B that is assigned to that same template, then Document A will automatically have a data connection to Document B created.
    • The uploader will be who the system chooses to be behind the automatic data connection creation.

Document created/uploaded with template

  • The document creator/uploader will automatically be selected by the timeline as the user who created (edited) the paragraphs inherited by the template.
