Version Visibility Filtering

Several entities are versioned with a draft → current → superseded lifecycle — for example Document Versions (open / released / superseded) and Templates (draft / active / archived). Wherever such entities appear, a version-visibility filter controls which version categories are included.

The filter exposes three logical categories; each entity maps its own states onto them:

CategoryMeaningDocument VersionTemplate
draftin progress, not yet liveopendraft
currentthe live, authoritative versionreleasedactive
supersededretained for history, no longer livesupersededarchived

Behavior

  • Default: current only. Every list/table view and every search defaults to showing only the current version of each entity.
  • Users may change the filter for a specific query/view to include draft and/or superseded.
  • The filter is per-query; whether a chosen setting persists for the session is a UI detail (TBD).
  • Applies uniformly to list/table views and search results. Draft/superseded rows surfaced this way are badged so they cannot be mistaken for the current version.

Notes

  • Protects Read-Only users from accidentally referencing outdated artifacts (superseded is hidden by default).
  • Composes with Tabular Export: an export reflects the active version-visibility filter (current-only by default).
