Version Control
Version control allows you to track historic updates, rename specific revisions, and instantly roll back or restore previous content if a system is updated incorrectly or deleted by mistake.
🕒 Step 1: Access Version History
Version control allows you to track changes and recover previous content if something is deleted by mistake or updated incorrectly.
- Open the System, Policy, or Training you wish to review.
- Click the Edit button to enter edit mode.
- On the right-hand side panel, locate and click on Version History.
🛠️ Step 2: Review and Manage Versions
The Version History list shows every time a system was published, including the date and time that changes were made.
- Identify Versions: You can see a list of "Last Publishing" timestamps to identify which version you need.
- Rename Versions: Click the Edit (pencil) icon next to a version to rename it, such as "Pre-Audit Version" or "Original Process". Click Rename to save.
- Delete Versions: If a specific version is no longer needed or was a mistake, you can use the Delete icon to remove it from the history.
🔄 Step 3: Restore a Previous Version
If you need to revert the entire document back to how it looked at a specific point in time:
- Locate the desired version in the list.
- Click the Restore button next to that version.
- A confirmation prompt will appear; click Restore again to proceed.
The system will automatically overwrite the current content with the data from that previous version.
💾 Step 4: Finalise Your Changes
Once you have restored or renamed your versions:
- Review the content to ensure it is exactly what you need.
- Click Publish at the top of the page to save the current state of the system.
💡 Tip: If you would like to view which user has accessed or modified a system, use the Activity Log feature and select which action you would like to view the logs for.
