on Jun 30, 2020Its been over a month since our last major release, and we're excited to share what we've been working on in the meanwhile!
Please note that the product announcements affect projects on the current version of Hygraph running on
app.hygraph.com, and don't apply to the legacy projects running onlegacy.graphcms.com
A big request has been to bring Versioning into Hygraph. Versioning allows you to work non-destructively with your content, helping you make changes with greater reliability and assurance that you can always recover previous work.
When creating a new document, the sidebar on the right gives you your document information, such as timestamps Created and Modified. If a content has been published and is being edited, you will see subsequent values for Available in stages. A document that has never been published will only be available in the DRAFT stage.
When editing documents that have been published you will be able to navigate between and compare their versions subject to their retention history easily from within the sidebar.
Working with multiple versions lets you retain your peace of mind, knowing that any errors or mistakes can be easily rectified, and older versions that might have performed better can be reverted to with a few clicks.
In addition to versioning, we're also rolling out retention history. Depending on which plan you're on, retention history cascades from 0, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days. Enterprise plans come with custom retention periods.
To learn more about working with versions, refer to our docs.
