From YouTube: GitLab Plan - Description Change History Speedrun

Description

Quick video demonstrating how the description change history in GitLab works, as well as the ability to remove previous versions in the history which may contain sensitive information.

Hello, everyone I just want to do a quick speed run, showing our brand new feature in 1210. The description change history is now live. What this enables us to do is if you were to edit a description, history or description right here, you could go ahead and add in whatever text.

A

And hit save what this will do is it will pop up in the activity and allow you to compare with previous version. So in this instance, let's say: I, add it in a secret that should not be in this description. That happens. Sometimes we want to go back and edit out versions, but if you can view the previous versions, you can always see what was edited it out. We've resolved that as well.

So if you do have something that makes it into your description, they shouldn't be there and you edit it out, and it's now in the history, you can go ahead and click the Remove description, history and it will no longer show so it will just simply go back to how it used to work, which is the description history or the description was changed again. We can try this again and we can add in whatever we want.

And we can hit save and compared with the previous version, you'll see that we still see the secret, so we just hit the little trash can and it will remove it.

So this is incredibly useful for teams oftentimes the description changes numerous times throughout the implementation of an issue, so this enables us to see what changed and just sort of get a better view of how the issue is evolved and how we're iterating. Thank you very much.
