Resource versioning

KUMA stores the change history of resources in the form of versions. A resource version is created automatically when you create a new resource or save changes made to the settings of an existing resource.

The change history is not available for the Dictionaries resource. To save the history of dictionaries, you can export data.

Resource versions are retained for the duration specified in the Settings section. When the age of a resource version reaches the specified value, the version is automatically deleted.

You can view the change history of KUMA resources, compare versions, and restore a previous version of a resource, for example, if it fails and you need to recover it.

To view the change history of a resource:

  1. In the KUMA web interface, in the Resources section, select the type of resources that you need.

    This opens a window opens with a table of available resources of this type.

    If you want to view all resources, in the Resources section, go to the List tab.

  2. Select the check box for the resource whose change history you want to view, and click the Show version history button in the upper part of the table.

This opens a window with a table of saved versions of the selected resource. New resources have only one version, the current version.

For each version, the table displays the following information:

You can sort the table of resource versions by the Version, Published, and Author columns by clicking the heading and selecting Ascending or Descending.

If you want to view the status of a resource in a specific version, click that version in the table. This opens a window with the resource of the selected version, in which you can:
