Tracking Image Page Changes
This topic describes the change events and change event details that the system tracks out-of-the-box. Because the change tracking functionality is highly configurable, the out-of-the-box options might differ from those in your system.
Change Events
The system automatically tracks image page changes based on the following events:
• When you create an image page
• When you check in an image page
• When you delete an image page
• When you add an image page to a specification, including in Adobe Illustrator
• When you remove an image page from a specification
• When you change the lifecycle state of an image page
|
|
The system does not track the original lifecycle state of image pages. The standard change tracking information only notes the new lifecycle state.
|
Change Event Details
The system tracks change event details, including designated attributes, for the following image set change events:
• Create
• Update
• Check in
Changed image page header attributes appear in the Images Page Changes table when you expand the related change event on the Tracked Changes tab. The table lists the attributes that have been changed, as well as the original and updated attribute values. The table also lists the image page cells, in order, and lists the names of any image file changes, including the original and updated image files.
The system also tracks change event details based on changes to the image page source files.
