Revision History Permissions for Users or Groups
Studio Project administrators can grant other attendees the ability to revert Project
documents to previous versions.
To set revision history permissions:
1. Open the Studio Project you want to set permissions for.
2. Click
Project Settings. The Project Settings dialog box opens.

4. Select the user you want to set permissions for from the Users/Groups list.
Note: If more than one user needs permission to revert Project documents
back to earlier versions, it might be best to create one or more groups and
then set the permissions accordingly to make permission management
easier.
