Add author info in version history

Feature Requests Studio Features
#1

As a team with multiple developers, version control is extremely inconvenient with no author info logged at all.

If Roblox is able to address this issue, it would significantly improve our development efficiency and build stability. Seems a low hanging fruit for a big return.

Good idea!

Some questions:

  • Which place version history page do you use - the one in studio, or the one on the website create page?
  • What else would be useful on this page? Do you use the timestamps? Whether it was autosave or manual save?
  • In general, what flows do you have in developing your game that involve using this page? Is this like a final check before marking a version published so users get it? Is it for coordinating changes by multiple devs? Or another use case?
  • Are you using teamcreate? are you in sessions at the same time with other devs together, or async? If not teamcreate, do you have multiple devs publishing to the same place and then use that to coordinate merges later?

    – We use both but the website one is more useful.
  • What else would be useful on this page? Do you use the timestamps? Whether it was autosave or manual save?
    – The author info is definitely useful there. Autosave or manual save could help as well. Yes we use the timestamps.
  • In general, what flows do you have in developing your game that involve using this page? Is this like a final check before marking a version published so users get it? Is it for coordinating changes by multiple devs? Or another use case?
    – Mostly to trace the culprit when the game is broken.
  • Are you using teamcreate? are you in sessions at the same time with other devs together, or async? If not teamcreate, do you have multiple devs publishing to the same place and then use that to coordinate merges later?
    – Yes we use teamcreate with multiple devs work on the same place at the same time.
