Description

  • open up a file in detail view
  • restore it to any previous version
  • expect: see something in activity stream, e.g. "Restored to version from 01.05.18".

Currently the only changing part is the available versions.
As I am also developing this on android, I think some kind of feedback would be nice, to track the changes of a file.

Research direction

Start from the file detail view's restore-to-previous-version flow and trace how changes are recorded in the activity stream. Confirm the behavior for restoring any previous version, including the displayed date, and verify that the resulting activity entry appears when the file is changed from another client such as Android.
