History - revisions, deploys and cloning

Review a host's configuration history, deployment log, and account-cloning history.

The Revisions button (clock icon) in a host's header opens the History view. It has three tabs: Revisions, Deploys, and Cloning. Each tab uses a two-pane layout: a searchable list on the left, and the full detail of the selected entry on the right.

  • Revisions - view and revert configuration changes
  • Deploys - deployment log and full output
  • Cloning - copy an account between hosts or users

The header of the History view also shows an On publish indicator: it tells you what publishing will do right now, before you start. See Preview what publishing will do.

Revisions

Every time you save, TurboStack records a revision. The left pane lists the change history, newest first, with the author, their avatar, and how long ago the change was made. Consecutive saves that belong to one change are grouped into a single entry. Select an entry to see its detail: which configuration paths changed, the before and after values (the net difference), and whether the revision has been published. Use the search box to filter the list.

  • Revert revision - restore the configuration to an earlier state. A confirmation shows the current configuration next to the after-revert preview before you apply it.

Deploys

The Deploys tab is the deployment log. The left pane lists each deployment with its author, date, and status (Published, Error, or Partially published). Select an entry to see its detail: the deploy type (Deploy / Full Deploy / Full & Reset Deploy), the Components deployed, the start and finish times, and the full Output. The output is shown inline, which is useful for diagnosing a failed publish. For a deployment that ran across several hosts, the output is grouped per host.

Cloning

The Cloning tab is a read-only record of account clones. Cloning copies an application account (its files and/or its database) from a source to a destination:

Field Meaning
Source Host / Source User The account being copied from.
Destination User The account being copied to.
Clone Files Whether file data is copied.
Clone Database Whether database data is copied.

Select an entry to see its full Parameters. You start a new clone from the Applications tab (the Clone app button in the footer), not from this tab - see Applications.
