In this microlearning, we’ll delve into property history within the eMagiz platform. Property history provides a detailed audit trail, showing who made changes to properties and when. This feature is valuable for both auditing and analyzing changes to your system. We’ll guide you through how to access and use this overview to track changes and gain insights.

In this microlearning, we will focus on the history of properties. In previous microlearnings, we already discussed the concept of properties. The focus for this microlearning will be learning how you can see who changed which property and when it was changed. As you can imagine this is ideal for audit purposes but also can be a big help when analyzing the behavior of the flow.

The property history overview in eMagiz is an overview page that defines on a per-environment basis (i.e. a separated overview for Test, Acceptance, and Production) which properties have been created and/or changed, who changed them and when they were changed.

This overview is located within the history context in Deploy. So, when you navigate to Deploy and open the history you will see on your left-hand side two menu options. One of these options is called Properties. By clicking on it, an overview will be presented to the user that defines what has changed, by whom, and when.
