We’re thrilled to announce that we’re in the process of rolling out a new feature: Changelog (a.k.a Version History). This feature aims to enhance your experience by providing a detailed history of changes made to your documentation.
As we fine-tune the design and functionality, we would love to get your input to make sure it meets your needs and expectations.
How it works
Note that these functionalities and design is currently in design phase and could potentially be subjected to massive changes when being released officially.
(1) List all previous changes
You can list all historical builds of dbdocs and its related information
(2) Compare between two versions
You can see what changes between version by comparing the difference of DBML between these two versions. It’s clickable - you can click the change to direct to code changes.
(3) Name a version
To improve version readability, you can add name of the version while performing dbdocs build
command in CLI or via GUI.
GUI
CLI
// Example
dbdocs build --name "v1.2: Update new version"
(4) Share with others
You can copy and share the version with others by copying the url.
