Every time you [publish changes]({{% relref "publish-changes" %}}) with happyDomain, they are recorded in a log. This log allows you to easily retrieve the status of your domains as they were previously deployed, and to see when you made each change.
|
|
|
|
## Opening the history
|
|
|
|
From your domain's page, open the **History** entry in the menu. happyDomain displays every recorded version of the zone, from the most recent at the top to the oldest at the bottom.
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: screenshot of the history page -->
|
|
|
|
To keep the list readable, versions are grouped by month. A heading marks the beginning of each month so you can quickly locate a change by its time period.
|
|
|
|
## Reading a version
|
|
|
|
Each version is identified by the moment it was last modified, along with the avatar and email address of the author who made the change.
|
|
|
|
Three dates may be shown for a version:
|
|
|
|
- **Published on**: when this version was deployed to your DNS provider. A version without this date was saved but never published.
|
|
- **Committed on**: when the version was committed (saved as a definitive state of the zone).
|
|
- **Modified on**: when the version was last edited.
|
|
|
|
If a message was attached when the changes were published, it appears below the dates, much like a commit message in version control.
|
|
|
|
## Viewing the zone at a given time
|
|
|
|
To inspect the full content of the zone as it was for a given version, click the eye button next to its date. happyDomain opens that version in read-only mode, so you can browse all the records exactly as they were at that moment.
|
|
|
|
## Comparing two versions
|
|
|
|
Under each version (except the oldest one), the **View differences** section lets you compare it with the version that immediately precedes it.
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: screenshot of the differences accordion expanded -->
|
|
|
|
Expand the section to reveal the changes: added records, deleted records, and modified records are highlighted, so you can see at a glance what each publication changed. The most recent comparison is expanded automatically when you open the page.
|
|
|
|
{{% notice style="info" title="No history yet?" %}}
|
|
A domain only builds up a history once you start publishing changes to it. If you have just imported a domain, its history will fill in as you make and publish your first modifications.
