To reset the search, click the arrow on the red field to reopen the drop-down list, and click Reset. Or, to clear all changes to the index (sorting/filtering/searches), click the Submit button on the top right of the screen.
To view document history
If previous versions of a document are available, the index item includes a History link. Hold the mouse pointer over the link to see when the current version was last edited. Click the History link to open the Document History window, where you can select a previous version to view. For details, see Viewing Document History.
