Revision History of Components

The components' revision history serves as an internal version control and change log for the integration components. It allows you to track who modified the components and when those changes occurred. You can also view and restore previous revisions and access the detailed component configuration XML for advanced requirements.

You can view the revision history of a component in the Revision History dialog box. If you have the Branch and Merge feature enabled on your account, the revision history shows the revisions for your current branch. To see the component's full history, click Show Full History.

To get to the Revision History dialog, open a component and click Revision History. Here you can:

• View standard information about the component.

• View the revision history.

• View or edit previous revisions of the component.

• View the component's XML.

• View source components if the current component was copied.

• Navigate to Boomi GPT to easily perform diffs between component versions.

To view source components, you must have access rights to the source account.
