Poll interval

The page automatically polls for newer versions of the document every 10 seconds (by default). You can get it to poll at different rates if you want to by enting a new value in the Polling Interval edit field at the end of the page. If it finds updates, it will display them, and highlight them. Setting the polling interval to 0 will turn off polling.

Customize View

The set of check boxes at the end of the page can be used to customize the view. Deselecting the checkboxes and clicking UPDATE will cause those columns to disappear from the display. This has no impact on the data on the server.
