Editing a Document's Change Summary

A change summary is created whenever a draft document is submitted to review or submitted directly to approval (skipping the review status). As a document control administrator (DCA), you can make changes to a document's change summary while the document is in any status except archived.

Important:

  • You can access the editing feature on major versions only (such as 1.0). It is not available when viewing minor version change summaries (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.).
  • You can edit a change summary of a document in draft or collaboration status only if the document has previously been submitted to review or approval and then been returned to draft. In other words, a change summary must already have been created during submission before it can be edited.
  1. Open a document in any status except archived.
  1. Click the Overview tab, and then click Document History.
  2. In the Changes Summary column, for a major version (with a .0 extension), click View.

  1. Click Edit.

  1. Make changes, click Save, and then close the document.

Notes:

  • To return to the existing change summary without saving changes, click View or Close.
  • You cannot save an empty change summary.
