Overview

View version history to track how datasets have evolved over time. Version history shows you the lineage of a dataset, including all previous and subsequent versions, along with a comparison of what changed between versions.

When a new version is published, the system automatically deprecates the old version and updates the version chain. Email notifications are sent to stakeholders of the old dataset, informing them about the availability of the newer version.

View version history

To view the version history of a dataset:

  1. Browse or search for the dataset you want to view. You can identify versioned datasets by the info panel on the dataset card.

    For the current (published) version, the info panel indicates that newer version exists with a link to it.

    For the previous (deprecated) version, the info panel indicates that newer version exists with a link to it.
