Motivation

The 'history' list in a document view does not show the full history of an object but only the workflow history. We are hiding versioning history information behind a (painfully ugly) history form. This can be confusing, and makes it harder to access versioning information.

 

Assumptions

 

Proposal

I propose two things:

1. instead of the workflow history viewlet use the content history viewlet that is already in plone.app.layout trunk. This viewlet mixes workflow and versioning information in a single overview and has convenient options to get more information about versioning changes.
2. remove the history content action and use the content history viewlet as a way to access the history information.
   

Implementation

Most of the implementation is already done. Ask DannyB for a demonstration if you are at the conference or attending the UI sprint :)
