Overview
Track Changes provides a table that automatically logs changes within solutions, covering configuration adjustments, as well as the creation and deletion of solution objects. The table lists the configuration name, modification type, date and time, and the responsible user.
When starting the Designer, the Home page shows the recent changes in the solution, querying the contents of this table.
You can customize the persistence of those records at TrackChanges > / Recent Changes.

Data Persistency Settings
The modification of the Auto-Delete is enabled only for Administrator users. Go to the Designer > / Home (Home page icon, at the top-left of the Solution Explorer), and login with Administrator privileges to change this setting.
The available options to specify when the Auto-Delete will happen, and what will be deleted are:
- Previous Sessions: When using the Designer to modify the solution, delete records of previous sessions.
- After Build Command: After a Build Command, delete the records of previous builds.
- After Publish Command: After a Publish Command, delete the records of previous publishes.
- Keep All Changes: Don't do auto-delete. Records can still be deleted manually by the Administrator.
- Tracking Changes Disabled: Don't add new records.
Deleting Records Manually
When logged as Administrator, you can delete a set of rows with the following steps:
- Select a set of rows (select one row, then use Shift-Click, or Ctrl-Click for more rows)
- Execute right-click on the selected rows, to open the Context Menu
- Execute Delete Select Rows.
