Drafts Directory: Scan Version History

Action

Posted by agiletortoise, Last update 5 days ago

Scans all version histories for all drafts looking for a snippet of text. If any drafts are found with this text in one of their version histories, create a new summary draft with links to the current version of each draft.

When run, you will be prompted for the text to find. It will be searched with simple case-insensitive matching.

Useful for troubleshooting a case where you know a text existed in a previous version of a draft, but that draft cannot be found with normal search because the text is no longer in the current version of the draft.
