Edit History

An Editor Client workflow, titled Edit History, is available to users out-of-the-box (OOTB), and tracks the addition of new features, updates to existing features, and deletions. The benefit of the workflow button is that it offers an easily readable list of all changes made within each individual session.

The Edit History button appears on the My Work, Available Work, and Assigned Work tabs within Session Manager next to the Open Session, Reassign, and Delete buttons. The best way to enable the Edit History workflow is through the Enable Session Edit History toggle in the Editor plugin of Solution Center. Read more about this toggle in the Settings topic.

Clicking the Edit History button might return results similar to the example below. Users see a list of changes that are contained within the session. Notice the session contains a pole removal, updates to pole attributes, and a new pole placed.

If a user sees an empty list of changes as in the image below, it could mean that the session does not yet contain any edits, or that the Enable Session Edit History toggle is in the off state. See the Settings topic for more info on this toggle.

To modify the user interface of the Edit History pop-up window, administrators can locate this workflow within Solution Center. Click on the Workflows plugin. Select the Default Workflow Studio tab, and click on the Editor Client subtab. Using the workflow drop-down list, select Edit History. For more information on customizing client side workflows, see the Default Workflow Studio and Override in Tenant topics.
