look at the history of a single item

  

In addition to composite object history, you can look at how a single item has developed. To do so, make sure that focus is in the correct item by clicking there and click on the Command Menu `Item History ...' button. That will pop up a window with circled numbers. Clicking in the circles will put that version of the item into the view. Note that when you do this, the view ceases to be editable, but that it does change the composite object. If you want to promote an old version to be the latest version (see section 3.8), use the `Promote' button.gif In order to make the view editable again, bring up the composition history (section 3.5) and click on the leftmost circle. Figure 3.9 shows an example of an item history with parallel development (two users worked on the component at the same time).
