Using Record History in SuperPath




Overview

Record History allows admins to view every change made to a record, including who made the update, when it occurred, and which fields were modified.

This feature supports good governance, strengthens compliance, and helps organisations maintain high-quality, auditable records.


Record History is currently available for:


  • Knowledge
  • Content
  • People
  • Teams


Future releases will add support for Pathways, Events, Forms, Learning Records and more.


Why Use Record History?


✔ Governance & Compliance

Many organisations must track changes for auditing, reporting, and quality assurance. Record History provides a clear, trustworthy audit trail.


✔ Transparency & Accountability

Know exactly who updated a record and what they changed — removing guesswork and preventing version confusion.


✔ Quality Management

Track how articles, content items and profiles evolve over time. Easily review past versions to understand context or investigate issues.


✔ Operational Confidence

When something doesn’t look right, quickly review the timeline to see what changed and when.

Each record type has a dedicated Record History button in its interface.
