Site History Report
- Applies to:

- Draft Contributor
The Site History Report helps you identify when a page was changed and who made the edits, to provide a quick overview of how your site has changed.
- Site history captures specific events that occurred on the site and displays them chronologically.
- If multiple events occurred in the same day to a page, an expandable link will provide further information.
- By default, Expert loads only 500 revisions, but as you scroll down and are able to see the 500th revision, an additional 500 revisions will load.
Use the Site History Report
- The Title column displays the date of the event and a clickable title with path.
- The Time column displays the time of the event.
- If multiple events occurred on the same day for a page, the event collapses into one row. Click (more) to display all events that took place for that day.
- The Author column displays who made the changes. Click on the display name to display the user contributions associated with that user.
- The Revision summary displays a short summary of changes.

Changes made using the Find & Replace bulk editing feature will appear the same as individual user contributions. For example, if Find & Replace substituted one word for another, the Revision summary will say "1 words added, 1 words removed" and the Author will be the user who ran the Find & Replace job.
