Bring back History functionality from Classic UI to Modern UI

Bring back History functionality from Classic UI to Modern UI

In the Classic UI, workflow history had its own side panel, which stayed visible until you closed it, and with the click of a button you could bring up a re-sizeable popup frame with the entire history, with sortable/re-sizeable columns, with user comments. The history is the only place comments are visible (they are not in the Change Log, unfortunately). In Modern UI, history is a little popup that looks like a chat window in Facebook. It can't be resized, so if your comments are more than a dozen words, it becomes a tall skinny paragraph, difficult to read, and you have to constantly scroll to see previous comments. You can’t read the entire comment without scrolling, much less review other comments. Once you change focus, the popup goes away.

 

Please bring back the old functionality that was available in the Classic UI. We refer to this history often and it is extremely cumbersome with the limitations of the Modern UI, to the point of not being useful at all when reviewer comments are detailed, which is often the case. It seems there are, disappointingly, a number of functionality losses when using the Modern UI, and unfortunately, switching to Classic UI is not an option for our company. Thank you.

And can we have a separate permission to view the history of comments?

 

In Modern I have to give "View workflow" to be able to do a transition, even when I have permission to do it.

 

I want users to be able to perform workflow transitions without seeing the workflow tab (and its comments).

 

Why? We have external review actors in our workflows, that we have to use a non-FLC tool to review a PDF, because we cannot expose internal workflow comments to external reviews.

 

We want these external review actors to participate in the workflow, without having access to the Workflow Tab - or specifically, the Workflow Tab's HISTORY (comments/timestamps/users).

 

 

Status changed to: Under Review

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Thanks for your feedback. We are assessing some enhancements based on your comments. Can you elaborate on the need or how sorting/resizing columns in the table (inside the modal window) ties into your workflows?

 

Thanks,
