Ideas for Arc XP

We need true revision history

just a long list on the side with the names of everyone who ever opened the file is not useful. We need to see the changes that were made in each version - true versions, not when someone just opens the file. This is not only useful to pin down who made a change and when but it leaves us vulnerable to legal challenges since we cannot tell when a change was made and by whom. I see that this has been on your request list for over a year. Hopefully we can expect to see this implemented soon?

    Progress was made recently, - comparing one version to the currently live version is better - but I'm here to specifically request tags, circulations and authors be added to revision history.

    ok - now we  have had a case where we have to prove where a specific word was in a story and when it was taken out and there is no way to track back what text was in version 6 and what text is in version 7 of a story - which any logical person would expect a version history to show. Please move this from "future consideration" to planned in a forthcoming release. We beg you.
