View an asset's modification history

As a super-administrator, you can see the "History" detail view tab for each asset which you select in the asset list. This tab shows a paged list of modifications to the asset's metadata or version history.

History tab

Each entry in the list displays which user made changes to which metadata and when. You can see the information field label or property label on the left side of each entry, the new (current) value in the middle, and the old value on the right side.

Depending on your server's configuration, not the entire modification history may be retained. Older entries may be deleted automatically after a set period of time.

 

The following changes get an entry in the history tab:

  • Asset type was changed

  • The currently active asset version was changed

  • Values in information fields were changed

  • Asset was linked to or removed from a node

  • Asset name was changed

  • Asset relation was added or removed

  • Asset availability was changed

  • Permissions on the asset were changed

  • Asset was released from the upload basket

  • Links to referencing nodes were changed

  • An asset version was added or deleted

  • An asset was added from CELUM Work to CELUM Content via the "Add"-Robot.

    If users who have executed actions on the object in CELUM Work delete their account in CELUM Cloud Account, then their names and e-mail addresses are not shown anymore.

If a user who made a change and is listed in the modification history is deleted, the user name in each history entry is replaced by "deleted user".
