View your workflow in the history bar.
As you work with your data, the history bar records the workflow. Each time you make a change to the chart (e.g., add a filter or change the chart type), the portal adds the previous version to the history bar. You can then click any chart in the history bar to see it again. If you view an earlier version and change it, all subsequent versions are automatically deleted. This enables an administrator to review the various stages of the investigation and change direction for the analysis upon review, if necessary. The history bar can retain up to 50 versions of the chart. If there are more than 50 versions, the portal deletes the oldest versions as new ones are added. The chart icons are numbered, so you can track how many versions you have. You can delete charts from your workflow.
