Docs and changelog page history
Keep a dated record of docs and changelog pages so your team can review what changed, when it changed, and what the page said at the time.
Start here when release notes, migration guidance, or docs wording may need later verification.
What this use case is for
- Public docs, release-note, and changelog pages where exact wording may matter later.
- Saved versions include change notes and detection timestamps for each tracked page.
- On Scale, screenshot and PDF capture can be turned on per tracked page.
What the email looks like
When a tracked docs or changelog page changes, the email stays short and the secure dashboard keeps the full record.
Subject: Page History: tracked page changed Page History detected changes on monitored public webpages. Tracked page: - https://example.com/page Summary: A tracked page changed and saved a new version. - Sample changed line 1 - Sample changed line 2 Screenshot/PDF proof files are available in your secure dashboard for eligible plans when capture is enabled. Download the current screenshot/PDF files from your secure dashboard if you need to keep them. Proof files are not sent as email attachments. Page History keeps only the newest proof files for each tracked page. Larger change batches stay short in email. Use the secure dashboard for full detail and CSV/XLSX downloads. Review or update this monitor in your secure dashboard. NoticeDock Alerts
