      Investigation into a solution for seeing a history of changes across a site in one place.

      Description of problem: Sometimes queries from Legal Dept. that we can't answer to (e.g. was this company ever explicitly mentioned in the post?) - with the current reporting, we can't answer this Q, because there are elements we can't see now . Consider an "Activity log" to help admins.

      Example list of activities to track:

      • changes to title, permalink, SEO fields, and other content that isn't tracked in a post's revision history
      • changes to settings

      Perhaps https://wordpress.org/plugins/aryo-activity-log ? or something similar.

      Tasks

      • Investigate feasibility of exposing activity logs of things already saved in WP database (eg. revisions)
      • Check if keeping less revisions would affect this. See PLANET-5727
      • Ideally Activity log should contain meaningful changes (eg. not autosaves or previews)
