Patch Timeline
See how changes evolved over time and spot when issues were introduced or fixed.
What the timeline shows
- Ordered history of patches/runs with timestamps and brief summaries.
- Highlights of key changes (new errors, fixes, or major edits) per entry.
- Navigation to jump between points in history.
How to use it
- Open Patch Timeline in the Control Center.
- Select the range or entries you want to review.
- Click an entry to view its summary; use navigation to move backward/forward.
Typical workflows
- Find when a regression started: scroll to the first entry showing the new error.
- Verify a fix landed: confirm the entry where the error count drops or disappears.
- Review before merge: scan recent patches for unexpected warnings.
What it does not do
- It does not roll back code directly; use your VCS for actual revert/restore.
- It does not replace Compare for detailed diffs—use Compare when you need exact changes.
When the timeline updates
- After each recorded run/patch that’s saved by the tool; rerun Analyze/Pilot to add fresh entries when code changes.
