The Record Change History lists the changes made to a record. Each time a record is updated, an entry is created in the Record Change History.
The Date column indicates when the record was created or updated. The Entry Date column indicates when the Record Change History entry was created. The values of the Date and Entry Date columns are displayed relative to the user's browser's time zone.

View a Record's Change History

To view a record's change history:

  1. Open the desired repository in a Repository View. To do so, open the Feature Sidebar, select the desired folder, and select the desired repository.
  2. There are two ways to open a record's change history.
    • Select the desired record, open the More Actions dropdown menu, and select History.
    • Open the record in the Detail Editor and click the View History button on the Detail Editor's activity bar.
  3. The record's change history will be opened in a Record History tab.

View Changes to an Attribute

The Attribute selector on the left of the Activity bar allows you to view details about the changes to a particular attribute.

To remove the effect of the Attribute selector, click the Close icon on the Attribute selector.

Compare Record Change History Entries

You can compare the a record at two different points in time. Select two change history entries click the Compare toggle on the Activity bar. All the record's attributes will be displayed for both change entries. The attribute values that are different between the entries will be highlighted.

If an attribute is multi-language, an entry will be displayed for each language variant value that has a value. The attribute's English variant will be listed:

<attribute-name>

and other language variants entries will list the attribute's name followed by the name of the language in parenthesis:

<attribute-name>(<language>)

Display the Differences in Record Change History Entries

To display only the differences in the record's change history entries, select the Difference Only toggle (it will turn green).

Roll Back Record Changes

The Roll Back Record Changes capability allows the user to undo the last saved changes to a record. It will roll the record back to the previous version. Rolling back the record again will cause the record to undo the last change (which was to roll back the record) and the record will revert to the state it was in before the rollbacks were done.

To roll back changes to a record:

  1. Open the desired repository in a Repository View. To do so, open the Feature sidebar, select the desired folder, and select the desired repository.
  2. Select the desired record.
  3. Open the More Actions dropdown menu by clicking the More icon on the Repository View's Activity bar and clicking the History button. Alternatively, open the record in the Detail Editor and click the View History button on the Detail Editor's Activity bar. The record's change history will be opened in a History tab.
  4. The History tab displays a list of when the record was updated. Select any previous version of the record and click the Rollback button on the History tab's activity bar. The record's attributes will revert to the values of the selected previous version.
  5. The History tab does not automatically refresh to show the changes to the record. To see the changes, the user must refresh their browser or close and reopen the History tab. The record's changes will be shown as a new entry in the History tab.

Note that rolling back the state of the record again causes the record's attributes to revert to their values prior to the last change, in effect, reversing the first rollback.

  3. Open the Export dropdown on the Repository View's activity bar, and select the format of the output file.
