Creating a checkpoint
This task explains how to create a checkpoint on an object. You use a checkpoint if you need to roll-back to a previous version of the object. Contenta also generates checkpoints automatically each time you modify an an object.
About this task
You can manually create a checkpoint on an object to mark a point in history with a description for future reference. For example you could create a checkpoint with a description of a significant change in the data. Contenta creates many checkpoints on each object, so creating a checkpoint allows you to easily find a particular point.
Use the Checkpoint tool to create a checkpoint in the object's history. Contenta automatically generates a checkpoint in an object's history whenever you modify the contents of the object. Additionally, system-generated checkpoints include the:
- checkpoint ID (internal revision number)
- desktop name of the user who was responsible for the checkpoint
- date and time of the revision
