Image File Versioning allows users to keep track of different versions of a single image file. With this feature, all versions of an image file are linked together and can be activated when needed, allowing Library Staff to quickly replace a file with an updated version.
Each image version takes up storage in your account.
Uploading a New Version
Library Staff can upload a new version of a file in the right pane of the Library.
- Navigate to a single image file
- In the right pane, click Revisions
- Drag a file or click the upload target to replace the image with a new version. Once uploaded, the new version will be activated.
Activating Versions
The version of a file is indicated by a or
tag, seen below. A blue tag indicates which version of the file is Activated:
To Activate a previous version of a file, click the Activate button below the image. You can also Delete or Download a version of the image using the Trash and Download icons below a version:
You cannot Delete the Activated version of an image file. Activate an alternative version, then Delete the version you no longer need.
Note: Deleted versions of an image cannot be restored. You will need to re-upload the version in order to restore it.
Version Notes
Users who upload a new version of a file can leave a Note.
Note: Only the user who uploaded a file version can edit or delete their Note.

If I Activate a new version of an image, will the new version display in my embedded slideshow?
