Change History

Change history - not to be confused with Change Management (tracking critical changes, like a daily process in the core data processor) - is synonymous with version history.

Whether you're updating a procedure, revising a policy, or fixing a typo, your intranet should maintain a complete change history and make it easy to see what changed, when, and by whom. That's exactly what SimplifyIT delivers.

Designed for Compliance

  • Automatic versioning: Every edit is timestamped and tied to the user who made it.
  • Audit trail visibility: See who changed what - and restore prior versions as needed.
  • Compliance support: Helps satisfy FDIC, NCUA, FFIEC and internal audit requirements.

Built Into Every Page

Change tracking isn't limited to policies. It works across knowledge articles, procedures, forms, and more. Admins can compare versions, highlight changes, and review edit logs directly inside the intranet.

Don't Rely on Memory or Paper Trails

Without proper version control, staff may reference outdated guidance, and auditors may flag your documentation. With SimplifyIT, change tracking is automatic, reliable, and always available when you need it.

Common Questions

What is the difference between change history and change management?
Change history tracks version updates to documents, procedures, and content within the intranet, showing what changed, when, and by whom. Change management focuses on managing critical operational or system changes, such as core processor updates or IT infrastructure modifications.
Why is maintaining a change history important for banks and credit unions?
Maintaining a change history ensures staff always access the most up-to-date guidance, helps meet regulatory requirements (FFIEC, NCUA, GLBA), and provides a clear audit trail if questions arise during examinations or internal audits.
Does change history apply to all types of content in SimplifyIT?
Yes. Change tracking is built into every page type, including policies, procedures, knowledge articles, forms, and workflows. Admins can compare versions, view edit logs, and restore prior versions as needed.
Can previous document versions be restored?
Yes. Admins can view the complete version history for each item and restore any prior version, making it easy to correct errors or recover important content.
How does change history support regulatory compliance?
SimplifyIT's automatic versioning and audit trail features help institutions satisfy compliance requirements from FDIC, NCUA, FFIEC, and internal auditors by proving documentation is current and properly controlled.
