Versioning

Versioning in content items

Kontent.ai creates a new version of a content item when:

• You change the content item’s workflow step.
• You make changes to the content after 30 minutes of inactivity on the item.
• Someone else on your project makes changes to the content item.
• Aiko Agent makes changes to the content item.
• Expert agents make changes to the content item.

To access a content item’s version history:

1. Click  More actions in the upper right of the content item.
2. Select  Version history.

Version history gives you a complete overview of who made changes and when, including workflow step changes. You can view each version, compare it to a previous version, and click More details for more information about a version.

Compare versions

To compare differences between versions of a content item:

1. Click  More actions in the upper right of the content item.
2. Select  Version history.
3. Select the versions you want to compare.

The differences between the versions are now highlighted. Hover over a highlighted change to see who made it and when. This is especially useful when multiple users or agents have worked on the same content item.

Edit content from version history

While reviewing changes to the content item, you can fix what you find without leaving version history. 

1. Click Editor in the upper left.
2. Make your changes as usual.

Your changes save automatically, and the current version updates as soon as they’re saved.

Restore older versions

With versioning, you don’t need to worry about having your content accidentally overwritten or removed, as you can always restore any previous version.

1. Click  More actions in the upper right of the item.
2. Select  Version history.
3. Select the version you want to restore.
4. Click Restore this version at the top.

Versions created by agents

Changes made by agents are recorded in the content item’s version history the same way as changes made by users.

Aiko Agent

Each change Aiko makes based on your instructions is immediately recorded in the content item’s version history. This ensures:

• Complete transparency over all automated edits
• Ability to track what Aiko changed and when
• Same restore and comparison capabilities as manual edits

You can review Aiko’s changes directly in the Aiko chat, with an expandable view that shows only modified elements. You can also access the full version history of a content item through More actions > Version history.

Expert agents

Each change made by an expert agent is recorded as a separate version in the content item’s version history. Expert agent changes are never combined with changes made by a user or by Aiko. In the version history, each change appears under the agent’s name, so you can always tell which agent made the change and when.
