Workflow auditing

If you want to track content versions created between Workflow Activities in a Workflow Process, you can enable auditing of a Workflow Process. When you enable Workflow auditing, "snapshots" are taken of an item as it progresses through a Workflow Process.

By default, when you save an item that is in Workflow, the version number increases by "0.1" each time it is saved, and the version number increases to the next whole number when an item in Workflow completes a Workflow Process. You can view changes to the item as it was before and after the Workflow Process started and ended by major versions.

A snapshot is a record of the content of an item as it was at a specific moment in the Workflow Process. To be precise, a snapshot is taken when each Activity in a Workflow Process is finished. Taking snapshots allows you to compare the content of an item as it progressed through Workflow and view the changes that were made during each step (Activity). Snapshots are taken of all items that can go through a Workflow Process:

  • Components
  • Pages
  • Component Templates
  • Page Templates
  • Template Building Blocks
  • Bundles
