Version Tab not appearing under Properties in Content Tree
Hi there,

We have two websites which are currently being developed which I'm having trouble enabling content versioning for. Both sites are on version 7.0.63.

In the Site Manager > Settings > Content Management on the Site level I've enabled "Use automatic version numbering" and set "Version history length" to 30. I've disabled "Use check-in/check-out" for now, but I've tried with this setting enabled and disabled with the same result.

I've compared these settings to the settings we've used for other website's in the past and they match. The other past websites do have the Version tab under Properties.

Is there anything I may be missing, or is there another way to ensure versioning is enabled?

Thanks for any help you can provide,

Jason

What license are you using?

Have you turned on versioning in CMSSiteManager>Settings>Versioning & Synchronization>General? Check global and your site settings.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply

One site is using a Base license, the other an Ultimate license.

Object versioning is enabled under Site Manager > Settings >Versioning & Synchornization > Object Versioning > General on both sites.

Do you have workflow enabled with a workflow to create the version? This process creates the version automatically.

Hi,

Thanks again for your reply.

You hit the nail on the head, the scope wasn't set for the default workflow.

Thanks for your help in troubleshooting the issue.

I'm also assuming you're logging in as a global admin, is that correct? It could be that UI permissions are set for a particular user to not see that.
