Research direction

Start by finding the repository version moderation view and template that render metadata headers and the PDF file header. Trace how pending metadata changes are detected, then check how the PDF update state is represented. Done means the file header displays “(changed)” when its PDF has a pending update, matching the metadata indicators.

Description

enhancement Repositories

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a Repository Manager moderating versions and other updates, I appreciate that Janeway's Version Moderation queue flags metadata fields with pending updates by displaying (changed), highlighting the changes I need to review.

I expect that Janeway would also flag PDFs which are pending update. However, the version moderation screen does not flag PDFs which are pending update:

Describe the solution you'd like
If a Repository item's PDF has been updated, display (changed) next to the file header, like the metadata headers
