The pipeline version history lists all the minor versions of a pipeline that are associated with its major version. This allows you to see who last edited each version and when it was edited. You can also see if a particular version is deployed and in which environment (test or prod).
You can also use the pipeline version history to perform actions such as edit the last minor version of the pipeline, view and create a new version from an existing version, and archive a specific version.
To learn more about the conditions of the pipeline versioning, read the article .
Versions created on or after February 1, 2022, show who edited a version. Versions created before that date show the default value of "No data". Pipelines created before February 15, 2021, don't include change date information and display 12/31/1969 by default.
On the Build page, identify the pipeline that has at least one minor version to access the history. Then click the View history button (represented by a clock icon) on the right side of the pipeline card:
A page opens with the version history of the pipeline, which contains information about all minor versions of the pipeline.
Here is the information provided by the pipeline version history:
Deployed versions: the versions of the pipeline that have been deployed. This information is only displayed if one of the minor versions of the pipeline is deployed in test or prod.
Version: the minor version of the pipeline.
Changed by: name and email address of the user who edited the pipeline version.
Changed at: date and time when the minor version was edited.
Pipeline description: the description of the pipeline.
You can also choose how many versions you want to view per page in the pipeline version history and navigate through the history using the pagination in the lower right corner.
Certain actions can be performed in the version history of the pipeline. The actions may vary depending on the minor version of the pipeline.
You can edit the last minor version of the pipeline as long as it’s not archived. To edit it, click the Edit pipeline button, which will take you to the canvas.
All older versions of a pipeline are available for viewing as long as they are not archived. To view a specific version on canvas, click View pipeline.
In canvas, you can navigate between older minor versions of a pipeline using canvas' built-in history. It’s not possible to edit the trigger and component settings that make up these versions. The only minor version that can be edited is the most recent, which is the current pipeline version.
However, you can use the old minor versions to create the current, editable version of the pipeline. To do this, select the desired old version in canvas' built-in history and click the Create minor version button (represented by a plus icon) in the upper right corner of the screen.
In the canvas, you can view the current version of the pipeline by clicking the See latest version button. Like the last version, this pipeline is fully editable.
To return to the version history, click Back to history in the upper left corner of the canvas.
You can archive any minor version of the pipeline, old or new, by clicking Archive pipeline.
Once a pipeline version is archived, you can restore it using the Restore pipeline button and make it available for viewing.
You can create a new, current minor version from an old version, as long as the old version is not archived. To do this, select the version you want and click the Create new minor version button. This will create a copy of the version and take you to canvas, where you can edit it.
