History & Diffs

Every change in a workarea is a git commit, so the History page provides a complete audit trail with the ability to compare any two points in time.

Commit History

Navigate to History in the sidebar to see a paginated list of all commits (20 per page). Each commit shows:

  • Commit ID — a short identifier
  • Author and timestamp
  • Message — description of what changed
  • An amber baseline tag if the commit is a baseline

Actions per Commit

  • View — browse the entire workarea read-only as it was at that commit
  • Create Baseline — tag this commit as a named baseline

Comparing Commits

Compare mode on the History page with From and To commits selected

  1. Click Compare to enable compare mode
  2. Select the two commits to compare — the older one automatically becomes “From” and the newer “To”
  3. Click View Diff

The Compare Commits page shows:

  • A summary card with counts of Added, Modified, and Deleted items
  • The item change list, grouped by change type — click an item to open its diff, with before/after values and field-level highlighting
  • A swap button to reverse the comparison direction

Item History

Each item’s detail page has a History card showing its last 10 versions. Expand an entry to see word-level field diffs, rich-text diffs, and link changes for that version.

Document Compare (Track Changes)

Documents have their own dedicated compare: in the document editor, open the History ribbon tab and click Compare versions. A compare bar appears with From/To pickers limited to commits that affected that document, and two view modes:

Document compare showing track-changes markup

  • All markup — the full document with inline track changes: added blocks in green, removed in red, modified in amber, with word-level changes inside rich text
  • Highlights only — change bars in the margin; click to expand individual changes
