View an Outline

What is the 'View' function?

▪	'View' presents the Outline as it would be displayed to students within the subject site 'Subject Outline' tool. Within the 'View' screen, all editing functions and optional sections which have been left empty are removed from the body of the Outline and displayed below the line.

▪

'View' provides access to the Downloadable/Print Version (PDF format) via the link displayed in the top right hand corner. If there have been previous versions of the Outline, they will display above the line for access by staff only, i.e. students will not be provided access to superseded Outline versions within the subject site. To learn more, see Versioning.

See examples below.
