    I believe there is a display version number already. I wrote a PI-Vision display backup based on a OSIsoft example script. Part of the metadata had a count that changed every time the display was updated. I used this to keep the previous versions. Not perfect, because it's just a point-in-time backup of saved displays.

    it should be possible to get also the information what changed from version to version (e.g. symbol ... added to the display, symbol ... color changed from red to green). or at least it should be possible to enter this information manual.

    This should also include the ability to effectively manage version releases. If I publish a display for all the techs in my fleet to use, I still need to be able to tweak it in the background. I need to be able to break it, fix it, develop new capabilities and analysis, THEN republish the new, validated, and tested/approved version. All while leaving the live version intact.

    - Restore document to specific version - See at a high level what changed between versions (symbol add/delete, asset edits, location move)

    I'm not sure if this is included elsewhere, but version should live past display deletion. If I delete a display by accident, I should be able to restore the display to visibility, beyond having to restore the entire PIVision SQL server database to a new database, and moving the display back.

    (The new levels of 'importance' are nice for assessing how much desire there is for the item voted on, but why "Not at all"? If it really was "Not at all" important, i wouldn't have voted for it. How about, "Nice to have", or, "Make me smile", etc.?
