System Configuration¶
The feature add-on adds new screens to the Changes Deployment screen and for the individual settings. These screens will display recent deployments in a descending order, along with their comments and name of the user who deployed the changes.
Deployment History¶
To see the deployment history:
- Go to the System Configuration screen of the administrator interface.
- Click on the Deployment button.
- Click on the History button.
Deployment History Screen
Every deployment can be further inspected by clicking on View Details link next to it. Details screen can be used to compare the setting with its previous value, before the deployment took place.
Deployment Details Screen
It is possible to compare the old and the new settings side-by-side by clicking on the two arrows button.
Deployment Details Difference
Additionally, older deployments (every one before current state) can be restored with a simple click. By restoring a deployment, all settings will be reverted to the value they had at the time of the deployment in question.
Finally, deployments can be exported with click on the export button. User will be presented with a download of a YML file that contains changed settings. This YML file can be later restored via Import & Export screen in the system configuration.
Note
If several history entries are displayed in the history, use the filter box to find a particular log entry by just typing the name to filter.
