Hi Team,

Currently, when we make any changes to a data model from the UI, there is no change log that is shown to the user before publishing.

Ideally, user should be shown the changes that are going to get commit before publishing a model from the UI so that they do not inadvertently make any mistakes.

Change log would be something similar we are shown before git commit and push (like additions, deletions, etc)

This will improve user experience for anyone using the data modeling service from the UI.

Thanks

Hi ​@Akash Sood , thanks for the input. 

We are considering addressing this request in the new data modeling UI; however, I am not sure if it will be represented as a git change log. If you are interested in providing feedback for the new UI, I can get in contact with you in the near future. Please let me know. 

Thanks and regards

Elka

Hi ​@Elka Sierra ,

We’re aware of the new Data Modeling UI, and integrating changes made in the UI with a Git-based changelog would be a great step forward.

In the meantime, we can already approach this by using the CDF Toolkit to export the data model as YAML files and start managing them through Git and Toolkit. Ideally, the new UI could eventually include an option to export these YAMLs directly, until Cognite offers seamless integration between the UI and Git repositories.

Does that make sense?
