Revision log

Revision log

You might want to store a description of the changes, when you save a changed template.

You can use the revision log to store such information.

With the revision log you can:

1.Save a description of the change in the revision log on the template.

2.View the revision log to view a description of the previous changes to a template. 

The revision log does not store the complete, old version of a template. For that you might consider github or similar.

Save a change in revision log 

When you save a changed template in the designer, then you can choose to save with revision as below:

 

NG2RevisionLog0001

 

If you select Save with revision as marked above, then you can type in a description of the change in the pop up window:

 

NG2TemplateSave0005

 

The revision number automatically increase for each revision saved.

The revision log can be displayed in the designer.
