Revision Control Portal

The Revision History portal lists the revision control history for a given object.

You can navigate to the Revision History portal from either a link in the Revision Control sidebar zone from that object's maintenance page or by going to Revision Control portal through the Admin Menu and using the search function to find the object whose history you want to view.

Use the broadcast icon to view the details of a given entry in the revision history.

To view the differences between two revision entries, click any two entries and then use the Compare button to see the differences.

You can restore a previous version of the object by clicking Restore in the row for the version that you want to restore. You would also use this option if an object was deleted and you want to reinstate it to a specific revision from before it was deleted.

See Working with Revision Control Zones for more information about tasks that can be performed through the Revision Control sidebar zone.

The following sections highlight other actions that are supported using the Revision Control Search portal besides searching for a specific revision. Navigate to this portal via Admin Menu, and then Implementation Tools, and then Revision Control.

Mass Force Check In

If there are entities that are currently checked out by other users and they are not able to check them in, you can do a mass Force Check In of those objects. Choose Force Check In from the Search By dropdown.

Use the filters, including the Checked Out By User filter, to narrow down the list of objects to force check in on.

If you plan to work on updates to several objects, you can opt to proactively check out the objects en masse. Choose Check Out from the Search By dropdown.
