Notifications, Redlines, and Change History
Winnow sends a weekly report to your inbox if there are any changes to the requirements in your saved surveys during the week. Clicking the View Report link takes you to the change report for that week.
Changes are grouped by survey, and each requirement shows a colored badge indicating whether it was Added, Removed, or Updated on your survey. The reason why the change happened, or the Change Type, is also displayed under the requirement link. If a requirement has changes to view, clicking on the View Changes link for that requirement will take you to the requirement detail page with the changes highlighted.
