Table of Contents
The revision log is the system’s permanent record of every version event and archive. It shows who made a change, what changed, and when it happened.
What Gets Logged #
Each entry includes:
- ItemID
- Old and new version numbers
- Timestamp
- User
- Change note or archive reason
- ChangeType (if set)
- Old title and new title
Entries are added automatically when you use:
- Create New Version
- Archive Selected Item
Manual edits in Content_Log never create revision entries.
Why It Matters #
The revision log provides:
- A full audit trail
- A consistent record of changes
- Clear context for snapshots
- Reliable history when multiple people work in the sheet
- Safeguards against accidental overwrites
Snapshot reports pull any revision entries that fall within the selected period.
When to Review It #
Open the revision log when you need to:
- See what changed this month
- Check an item’s full history
- Verify teammate updates
- Troubleshoot reporting questions
- Track long-running items over time
The revision log acts as your source of truth for all system-driven updates.
