Project History and Activity
Updated this week

Project history, or commits, provides a record of all changes within a project, tracking actions such as file check-ins, check-outs, deletions, and moves. Every action is logged as a commit, ensuring full traceability. This functionality is part of Branch and Merge, allowing design engineers to experiment with alternative designs before selecting the best option.

With commits, users can:

  • View which files were affected by a particular action.

  • Open a previous commit to see the project at that point in time.

  • Revert to an earlier commit to undo changes.


Viewing a Commit

To view details of a commit:

  1. Click on "Commits" in the left navigation bar.

  2. Find the commit you want to review and click on it.

  3. This will open a list of affected files and the actions taken (e.g., files checked in).

  4. To view the project state at the time of the commit, click “View” within the commit details.

💡 Example: If a commit logs files being checked in, clicking on the Commit ID will display the file names of the checked-in files, showing how the project looked at that moment.


Reverting to a Previous Commit

If you need to undo an action, you can revert to a previous commit:

  1. Click on "Commits" in the left navigation bar.

  2. Find the commit just before the action you want to undo.

  3. Click “View” to confirm the project state at that point.

  4. Once verified, click “Revert” to restore the project to that commit.

⚠️ Important: Reverting to a commit will also undo all actions performed after that commit. This is best used for quick fixes (e.g., accidentally deleting or moving files). We do not recommend reverting to older commits for major changes.
