Use the Knowledge lifecycle history page to view a timeline of key events in an article’s journey, from creation to publication. This page helps you track what happened, when, and who performed each action.
Reviewing the lifecycle history gives you a clear picture of how content evolves, making it easier to manage quality, ensure accountability, and keep work moving forward.
What you’ll see in the history
Each entry on the timeline reflects a key stage in the article’s lifecycle, such as:
- Who created the article, and when.
- When it was submitted, approved, or returned for edits.
- When it was published or retired.
This timeline gives instant context about the article’s current status and what steps, if any, still need to happen.
Reviewer feedback included
When a knowledge manager user returns an article for edits, any comments or instructions from the reviewer appear directly in the timeline. This ensures authors can see what changes are needed and why.
Why it matters
The lifecycle history helps you:
- Maintain transparency across the content process.
- Keep a clear audit trail of changes and decisions.
- Collaborate more efficiently with reviewers and contributors.
- Ensure your knowledge base reflects current, high-quality content.
