Change tracking
Description
Change tracking provides full visibility into the evolution of content – from the first draft to final publication. It captures detailed records of additions, deletions, comments and revisions, helping teams collaborate efficiently and maintain accuracy.
In structured content environments, such as those built with Tridion Docs, change tracking becomes far more powerful and precise. Each tracked edit or comment is stored in a structured way, meaning every revision is searchable, reportable and audit-ready. This approach ensures that no comment or change is lost and that reviewers can easily trace how a document evolved over time.
For industries that require detailed traceability – such as life sciences, manufacturing or financial services – granular change tracking supports compliance, quality assurance and faster approvals. Combined with other CCMS features like baselining, it ensures teams can manage documentation with full confidence.
Example use cases
- Audit-ready documentation: Maintain full traceability of regulated content.
- Collaboration: Coordinate efficiently across authors, editors and reviewers.
- Compliance: Demonstrate full document history for medical device and pharma content.
- Knowledge management: Track and analyze document evolution over time.
- Archival: Retain complete change records for long-term documentation.
