Show post changelog?

I need a recommendation on how to better show changelog on a blog page on my ghost blog.I have a techreccs page which I update quite often and would like to keep a log of changes.Any ideas.

I think this is going to need to be manual – there’s not something built in. I’d maybe use a call to action or callout card at the end of the post, and just manually log changes as you make them.

If you need a full copy of the old post, consider duplicating it and linking to it.

While Ghost has a post history, it doesn’t expose it in a way a theme can read it. (You could get it with the Admin API, but then you’re going to need some separate function that keeps your API key safe, separate from Ghost. I doubt this is worth it for your use case?)

Maybe you can add “last update date” for the page and also a color, tag or emoji based freshness for every section, then explain the system inside the page.

Like putting :fire: emoji to the section title, and informing that it means it’s updated in last week.

But of course this will add extra workload to update those signs even if you don’t have a new update :blush:

what do you mean with extra workload?

I mean you will need to update the post considerably often, just to keep those tags/emojis consistent and reliable.
