Viewing checkin history for an object

Last Updated : Apr 08, 2024 |

About this task

Every time you check in a topic, map, or image, Tridion Docs creates a new revision. This helps in tracking changes made in every checkin. You can use the revision to identify when the error has occurred, and resolve the issue or roll back to the previous revision.

You can view the changes made in a topic, map, or image in each revision of a version, which is checkout and checkin. This feature helps in identifying any error that must have crept in and roll back to previous revision.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the web interface.
  2. Browse to and select the folder where the object, that is a topic or map, is located.

    The objects in the folder are displayed in the right pane.

  3. Select the check box for the object.

    Versions of the object display in the lower pane.

  4. Scroll the list of versions to the far right, and select the version that you want to view.

    You must select a version, even if only one version exists. Do not select the check box at the far left. You cannot perform the next step if the check box on the far left is selected.

  5. Click Show History.

    A new window opens and displays the history of the object.

  6. Click Show/Hide Revision to view all versions.

    This button toggles the display between all checkins and only first and last checkin.

  7. Click Preview to compare between revisions.
