Last Approved Documents View
Hello,
I'm looking for a way to have a document library view that shows the last Major Approved Version of a document, even if it is currently being edited as a draft. This should be avalable to those with edit permission as well.
For example: I want to enter into my document library and see the most recent published versions of ALL my documents, NOT a filtered view. I can click on another view to see that some of these documents are being currently edited in a draft.
I do not want to use 2 document libraries to achieve this. This question is being asked constantly on various forums, but consistently not being answered.
Here is example: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/Last-Approved-Documents-View-in-Document-Library/m-p/47378#M4511
The scenario you describe would have been useful also for my case.
I also hear from users with Edit access who wanted to see all documents that has been already been Approved using Content approval.
The filtered view (e.g. Version contains .0) will not work since some files are not displayed because Draft copies takes precendence for Members and Owners group. I'd interested to hear whether you will be able to find out something without using a secondary library.
- Well, the thing here is that you cannot use the last Major Approved Version on a document library to create a view so I think your only option here is to show this information on a page where you use some code to get for each document in a document library the last major approved version
