Use the Changes page to review everything that differs between your draft and the live version of a tool before you deploy.

​
Open the Changes page

  1. Go to the dashboard.
  2. Open a tool.
  3. Click Changes in the sidebar.
A red dot appears next to Changes when you have pending updates.

​
What creates changes

Changes are created when you edit fields on Edit Tool: Edits are saved to a draft. The Changes page compares that draft to the published version, or to nothing if the tool has never been deployed. See Editing Your Tool for a full field reference and limits.

​
If there are no changes

If your draft matches the published version, you will see No Pending Changes.

​
Change categories

Changes are grouped by type: Each change shows Previous (published) and Current (draft) values. Click a change to see full details in a side panel.

​
Undo a change

You can discard a single pending edit without resetting the whole draft:
  1. Hover a change row to reveal Undo change on the far right of the preview, or
  2. Open the change detail sheet and click Undo change.
Undo restores that field to the last deployed value (or clears it on a brand-new tool). Other pending changes stay intact.

​
Required fields before deployment

Before deploying, required readiness fields must be complete:
  • Name
  • Slug (at least 3 characters)
  • Tagline (10 to 160 characters)
  • Description (max 500 characters)
  • Quickstart (at least one language with usage code)
  • Categories (at least one)
If any are missing, the page shows a warning with a link to Edit Tool.

​
Deploy changes

  1. Review the changes on the page.
  2. Click Deploy in the alert or sidebar.
  3. Optionally add a commit message describing the changes.
  4. Confirm to start the deployment.
The deployment runs in the background. Check Deployments for status.

​
New tools vs. updates

  • New tool: The page shows all draft fields as changes. Deploy to publish for the first time.
  • Published tool: The page shows only the differences between your draft and the live version.
