In the card of a specific version you can see the following information:

Details	Description
Version ID	This identifier shows you the sequence and status of the versions.
Participants	You can see the employees who have carried out the respective transition. In intermediate versions, you can also see who should execute the next transition. Note: If a user who is not linked to an employee object has executed the transition, the user name is displayed in the version history instead. Note: If the user has been deleted in the meantime, the user name will be displayed crossed out.
States	You will see the current and the already executed states. States that have already been passed through are marked with a solid line. A dashed line to the current state shows you that the transitions to the current state have not been executed yet.
Date	You can see the date when a version was created, tested or released. For previous versions, you can also see the period in which the respective version was valid.
Checkboxes	If you enable the checkboxes of two versions, the Version comparison button becomes active and you can compare the two versions. See also: Compare versions
