Is it possible to create a link that always lead to the newest version of an article, or will all links lead to the version that existed when the link was created?
Will all edits be visible in the history, or can the author make minor edits without triggering a new version?
To be precise, the versioning system is based off of “semantic versioning”, which has three types of changes:
1. Major update: This constitutes a breaking change, in our case this means old comments are marked as outdated
2. Minor update: This constitutes a significant change, that you want people to be notified by, that adds new info, but doesn’t break old comments or old links to it
3. Patch: This is a minor change, like fixing a typo. Nobody needs to get notified, but old links that specifically link to a specific version will still display the original.
Neat! Two questions:
Is it possible to create a link that always lead to the newest version of an article, or will all links lead to the version that existed when the link was created?
Will all edits be visible in the history, or can the author make minor edits without triggering a new version?
By default, edits will not be visible in the history – it’s a special option you can check when you’ve made significant changes to the post.
