Getting Started Mondays | January 16th 2023


Topic: Version History

 

Every time you publish or save your survey, you create a “version” of it. You can view, preview, or even restore past versions of your survey through a feature called Version History. This feature is specifically designed to keep a history of your survey changes and is a good tool to use when you need to revert to an earlier version or check what changes have been made since you last published your survey. 
 

Where to find this feature:

  1. Navigate to the Survey tab and click Tools.
  2. Highlight Versions.
  3. Select View Version History.

Question of the Day: Have you used Version History before? If you have, what for? If not, why not?

JoseS - hey, I have certainly used Version History before and it has been super helpful all along. However, I have always hoped if there is a way to see in detail all modifications that I made in a survey version. Is there something available for this that I am unaware of?
Thanks,
Abhi

Hello Mishraji, I am glad to hear you've used this feature before! Unfortunately, while the version history feature does keep track of changes made in different versions, the descriptions of the changes are not very detailed.
You can view the descriptions by looking at the portion that states "Changes since previous version", but usually this section will provide the Question Number and tell you that it was modified/added/deleted.
My only suggestion would be to "View in Survey Builder" and compare the question to the most updated version, but still, this isn't exactly what you asked for.
I hope this helped answer your question! If you have any further questions I suggest making a new post in the Community, or going to our Support Portal. 😁

Thanks JoseS , good to know! 😃
