I’ve noticed that the History Options are disabled when viewing playlists in RV. Is there a setting somewhere that unlocks the history of Versions for playlists? History Options work fine when viewing assets or sequences directly.

Thanks,

Hi @stavernia,

The History Options are available only when looking at a portion of the version hierarchy. For instance, if you are browsing a Sequence, the history options will provide the historical linking between shots which displays versions.

Unfortunately, history options are not available for Playlists. For playlists, your best bet is to utilize the `Related Versions` tab in the info panel. You could right click on the certain version and `Compare with Current`.

Cheers,
