Where to track manual changes in an editable dataset?

Oleksii

I created an editable dataset and selected the option "Keep track of manual changes". However, I'm not sure where I can actually review those changes.

In the "History" tab, I only see some commits related to changes in the dataset, but not all. For example, when I add a row or edit a cell value, it doesn't always create a new commit.

Is there a way to view a detailed log or history of all manual changes made to the dataset?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Oleksii,

Indeed, it is not under "History" tab but rather under "Version Control" on the project level.

There under filename.data file, you should be able to see the changes.

Hi @Han_Han ,

Thank you for your response!

Is that the only way to track manual changes?
I was wondering if there’s a more visual or user-friendly method to view them.

From my perspective, inspecting the filename.data file isn’t very convenient. In the Version Control tab, I can’t see the full file, and for example, it’s hard to understand exactly which row or column was changed.

Is there a better way to visualize these manual edits?

Thanks again!

Hello @Oleksii

I agree with you that current way of tracking changes of the editable dataset can be improved! To answer your question, If you want to see the full file, and if you are the admin of the project, you can export the project and unzip it on your computer to see it.

I am curious to learn more about the problem you are trying to solve here. Would you mind sharing more about what are you using the editable dataset for and why you need to track changes? Happy to jump into a quick call as well to understand the problem you are facing. My email: han.han@dataiku.com

Cheers,
