Knowledge that agents act on is not something you want to change blindly. Devic keeps the history for you, and tells you who depends on a page before you touch it.
A version per change
Every time a document’s content changes, Devic stores a new version. Nothing to enable, nothing to remember.
Each version records what changed — lines added and removed — so the history reads as a list of edits rather than a list of timestamps.
Open the history
From the document, open its version history.
Compare
Pick a version to see its content and what changed against the one before it.
Revert
Restoring an old version does not erase anything: it writes the old content as a new version. The history stays complete, and the revert itself is part of it.
Renaming a document, moving it or editing its properties does not create a version. Only content does.
Who is using this document
Before you edit — and certainly before you delete — check the usage panel. It lists the agents and assistants that have this document attached, directly or through a folder.
It is the difference between “this page looks stale” and “this page is quoted by the support assistant forty times a day”.
Deleting
Deleting a document removes it from every agent and assistant that referenced it, and takes its subdocuments with it — the whole tree below the document goes.
Deleting a folder leaves the documents inside it unfiled unless you explicitly ask for them to go too. Deleting a document, on the other hand, always takes its subdocuments with it. The two differ on purpose: a folder is a container, a subdocument is part of its parent.
Through the API
The same history is available programmatically, which is what makes it usable from a pipeline that keeps Devic in step with a repository:
