I’m trying to use the page history feature to track back changes I have done to a requirements table. Any past change version I select shows me the whole table hilighted in green, with no more granular hilight of the changes. Wanted to ask if this is a coda limitation, or there is some other way to see what I have actually changed inside the table. ---

I find the page history feature very painful to use for this use-case. If you know what entries to check, the activity tab is much more practical. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/coda1/original/3X/5/3/536f4785641925705796cc7be49b56f45a600ece.png) Otherwise, if I really want to log all the changes I just implement it myself: - Lock the table so that Creating/Editing/Deleting can only happen via a helper table + buttons - Extra step on the buttons: Add an entry to a log table related to the Created/Edited/Deleted row - Actually, don’t delete any row, just set a checkbox to mark it as deleted and just hide it away from the users. You can have another process to actually delete/archive rows deleted by end users. It’s a bit cumbersome if you need to do this for multiple tables but the other alternatives didn’t work for me. Let me know if this helped! Pablo ---

At the bottom when you expand an item, next to the ‘Comments’ tab. ---

No, ‘Activity’ is only available for rows in tables. Expand a row and scroll to the bottom. ---

Found it thanks This way it’s difficult to use, needing to check manually every single row Also the other system didn’t work for current table not setup in this way Coda need to implement a real track changes for tables… ---
