Paper trail gem

Howdy, today I am going to talk about the versioning. How to specifically version your models?

So wondering what I am talking about? What is that versioning and my models?

Let me explain you with an example.

If you have created a specific document that many people can edit; yes, just similar to Google Docs.

Let’s say, it’s a client proposal and you want your colleagues to do have a look and if required then make the validate changes. After sharing the document with your colleagues, in case someone does @#$%***&% to your doc or if someone has updated your doc with the required changes, then you will not be able to see all the previous versions of the doc and who changed it. This is the most common scenario as it creates a big mess.

How To Track changes to your models’ data To help you out and track all the changes as well as who has done this, we’re going to use Paper Trail gem. It is a simplified version of Google Docs. A very, very simplified. This gem lets you track all the changes, as the purpose of editing and versioning.
