ACC - Lack of Version Descriptions

[vaughan.giles7AGEV]

Currently there is no manner in which you can give descriptions to specific versions of files (such as .dwg / .pdf).

I request that there be the ability to add comments or notes to specific versions of files, so that we can better track changes between versions (much easier than tracking through hundreds of file versions without knowing "when" a specific change was made.

While I acknowledge there are other ways of describing information (such as when issuing models via Design Collaboration and the creation of packages) there is no direct manner in which you can apply comments to versions of files and I believe it be an invaluable and yet very simple addition to the ACC tool-set.

Please, add this capability to ACC.

This is an ongoing and significant omission for a CDE, and especially for a DMS.

It's not just the Description, but for all attributes, including those that are custom.

Documents stored in Files lacks history transparency and accountability. It really needs to be addressed.

This needs to be extended to published version of Revit files. I have no idea was version 108 is. Was it for a clash detection meeting or because someone needed to download the latest model. Please let us add description to file versions

Hi everyone,

I am proud to announce that Autodesk has now implemented this level of version history control, via the use of Attribute data.

e.g.

I hope this implementation is extended to integrate with the File Activities.
