An audit trail of all additions and changes made to content. A version control function would be helpful.

Hi folks,
Being totally transparent here - we aren't planning this one as a roadmap item.
If you take a look int the "News" tab of our support chat you can see whats on the horizon for Spring/Summer 2023.
- Why is version control needed in your business? What do you foresee being able to do?
- How would this improve what you can currently do?
- How does this add value to your day-to-day?
Would love to get your thoughts to share with the team :)

Hey folks,
You're now able to view Content History for all Courses and Nuggets on HowNow, and over the next few days will be able to see these changes on all other content types too.
This'll help you track changes, tweaks and keep a close eye on your collaborative content.

Hey everybody,
You'll be pleased to know that we are planning to introduce a version of Content History in the near future that will give you visibility of updates, changes and tweaks made so you can track these changes.
We'll keep you updated with how this is progressing!

We're ISO9001 accredited so version controlling is so important for all our content. If this feature could become available it would be really beneficial to us.

Hi Marie Bunning
Thanks for your comment - I still think we need a bit more information here.
Please feel free to review the pinned comment and share your feedback.

Alfie from HowNow: An audit trail or version control will help identify who made changes and when those changes were made to a course/nugget and will also help us keep track of when the content was updated. This is especially important for courses/nuggets that run for very long periods (over more than one year). Right now there is no way to tell if a change has been made or who made it at all.

Thanks for sharing so far!
- Why is it important to track who has edited content?
- Do you imagine there to be any other additional benefits to an audit trail?
- Version control would likely serve a different purpose - is there a benefit to being able to revert to a previous version? What would be your expectation for each version when it comes to insights?
- Do you think this would make reporting easier?

Alfie from HowNow: In our teams we may have multiple people who work on the same content dependent on who has capacity at the time when a change is briefed in. However we have no way of seeing who worked on it or when which sometimes leads to us not knowing which version of something is live as we typically don't mention the versions on the front end to the learner. If we know who worked on it and when we can check in with them or use the date to see which version was edited and saved at that time. The audit trail will also enable us to track how often the content is being changed and it may indicate it is time to do a complete review and not just tweaks.

Alfie from HowNow:Version control in the manner you are referring to - which is the ability to revert- would be amazing as currently when you update a document or SCORM file you actually delete the older version/replace it completely.
