When the text in a rich text element is modified, the entire rich text element is shown as having been changed as opposed to individual bits of text. To determine what changed in the rich text element, compare it side by side immediate revision prior to it. See the following section for complete information on performing side by side comparisons of content item revisions.

...

The color coding denoting added, removed, and changed content makes it easy to quickly interpret how content has been changed between two revisions. Because two revisions are always shown side by side, you can not only clearly see the changes that have been made but also the previous state of the part of the content item that has been changed.

By selecting the view ‘Changes only’ you can see summary of only the changes that occurred between two revisions instead of the complete content of the item. For pages, page sections, articles, and custom content items containing a lot of content, this makes it easier to locate the changes.

To navigate between revisions, click [Next revision] or [Previous revision]. In this way you can step through the entire audit trail history of the content item:

Moving Elements

When you move an element using drag and drop, the action is shown in the audit trail as an add/delete action instead of as changed content. Consider the example below. Four elements appear on a page (Element A, Element B, Element C, and Element D), ordered from top to bottom as shown. Element C is then moved to the position below Element A — The result is represented below right (A, C, B, D):Moving an elementImage Removed

In the audit trail, this action will be represented as the deletion of Element B in the position under Element A and then the re-adding of it in the position below Element C:Moving an element as shown in the audit trailImage Removed

Workflow State Changes

Changing the workflow state of a content item is shown in the audit trail as a pair of add/delete actions instead of as changed content. For example:

In the example above, the workflow state of the content item has been changed from Published to Planned. In the audit trail, the actions that are shown as having occurred are:

Workflow activity "Maintained published object" has been deleted.
Workflow model state Published has been deleted.
Workflow activity "Maintain planned object" has been added.
Workflow model state Planned has been added.

...

On the Deleted Items tab you can see all content objects/items that have been deleted since the initial creation of the website or since the last time the audit trail was purged. While the objects themselves cannot be restored once deleted, you can view the audit trail of deleted content items/objects (pages, page sections, articles, and custom content items). For complete information on purging the audit trail, see the section Purging the Audit Trail.
