Background: I’m primarily a Lucidchart user
Currently, it appears that viewing a document’s change history requires Edit permissions (File → Show Revision History is grayed out without Edit permissions).
As a document viewer, I’d like the ability view (and potentially compare) different versions of that document.
Use case:
Suppose a system’s architecture and behavior are captured using Lucidchart, and document revisions are used for different versions of that system.
Non-contributor stakeholders need the ability to understand how past versions (or the latest released version) of that system work.
Without this, viewers can only view the latest version of a document. During development, this may differ from the latest released version of the system represented by the document.
Suggestion:
I’m speculating that revision history is grayed out without Edit permissions to keep read-only users from potentially using the Restore or New From Version features in the revision history sidebar.
Would it possible to just gray out those options for users without Edit permissions?
Edit: Bonus points if the compare feature also works without Edit access.
