Changes happen. Making them is easy, but remembering them? Not so much. And forget about it if it was someone else on your team making those changes.

So now ReciPal will automatically track changes you've made to your recipes. You'll be able to see a history of things you've adjusted on the Recipe Edit page, like adding or removing ingredients, changing ingredient amounts, or updating the net weight, number of packages, servings, preparation instructions, etc.

Where To Find It

You'll find the "History" page under the Recipe Pages menu on your Recipe Dashboard:

You can also click the last updated link on the Recipe Edit page or select the "More" dropdown and choose "History":

What It Does

The history will show which ingredient was changed (if an ingredient was changed), the type of change, the element before and after the change, the account email for the user who made the change, and the timestamp.

You also have the ability to add comments to any change so that everyone has the context. Comments will be timestamped and show which user made them, with the ability to edit or delete if necessary.

This reference is meant to help with diagnosing issues, reconstructing previous versions, fixing any errors or accidental changes, and just being able to check how you got to the current state. Obviously it can't be applied retroactively to changes before the change log existed, but we hope it will be a useful tool moving forward.

What's Next? You Tell Us!

We try to roll out new features based on demand, so reach out if you want to see more logs like this (for costing or ingredient lists) or would like to be able to undo changes from the log. We're all ears :)
