Append Column Changes to Existing Text

A SharePoint Online tutorial by Peter Kalmström

SharePoint iconSharePoint list apps have an append feature in columns of the type Multiple lines of text. When you enable the feature, called Append Changes to Existing Text, changes are shown as a thread in the field. The earlier text cannot be changed, but new text is shown above the earlier text. This feature is especially useful for discussions and issue tracking.

Before you enable Append Changes to Existing Text, you must enable Version history for the list. Do that under List settings >Versioning settings >Create a version each time you edit an item in this list.

In the demo below Peter Kalmström, CEO and Systems Designer of kalmstrom.com Business Solutions, explains the feature Append Changes to Existing Text.
