Configure the change log

📘

Note

The Activity API supersedes the deprecated ChangeLog API.

The Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) Change Log system (referred to as “Change Log” in this topic) is a facility where you can log changes to an CMS site. For example, all changes to pages, files and folders are logged in the Change Log to support mirroring and platform features, and providing a general auditing mechanism.

Administer the Change Log

Change and filter the Change Log in the CMS admin view. See the section about configuring Change Log in the Optimizely user guides.

You can also manually schedule and execute the Change Log Auto Truncate from the admin view. This scheduled job deletes items from the Change Log that are older than one month, and do not have registered dependencies by other CMS parts.

Programming interfaces

The classes and interfaces for the Change Log can be found in the EPiServer.ChangeLog namespace in the file EPiServer.dll.
