About the Topic History section of a topic exported to PDF

You can create a PDF or Zip file of a topic to document the contents of a topic. You select which topic or action attachments to include. You can also add attachment source details, topic comments, attachment comments, action comments, and change logs.

In the PDF file, the Change log includes a Topic History section that provides a summary of the changes made to the Topic General Information. Each row in the Change Log represents a row in the Topic History section and contains these columns:

• Version

• Assigned to (a user or a work team)

• Reason for Change

• Modified By

• Modified

• Current State

• Other Changes

The Other Changes column appears only in the PDF output. For each row, the Other Changes column summarizes changes from the previous row. This means that the Other Changes column for the first row is empty and represents creation of the topic. In subsequent rows, the Other Changes column lists specific changes or is labeled <No other changes>. The Other Changes column does not include changes to Project, Modified By, Modified, Current State, Reason for Change, or Assigned to.
