Crucible 2.8 : Setting Crucible to Store all Revisions

When creating a project or editing a project's properties, you can set Crucible to save all revisions that are associated with a review to Crucible's database. This allows you to be able to view that file content whether or not the repository is online or accessible to Crucible. It also creates an enhanced audit trail should you require it, saving the review content regardless of whether or not it is deleted or lost from the repository.

(info) Note that the storage of revisions must be set per-project. Also, the storage only applies to reviews created after Revision Storage is enabled. This means that for existing projects, pre-existing reviews will not be stored unless you look at them again after Revision Storage is enabled.

Enabling Revision Storage on a new project

To enable Revision Storing on a new project:

  1. When creating a new project, you have the option to turn on revision storing on the 'Create New Project' page.
  2. Under 'Default Content Review Repository', Click the checkbox labelled 'Store the contents of files in reviews'.
  3. Click 'Save' to finish.

Enabling Revision Storage on an existing project

  1. From the 'Admin' screen, click 'Projects' from the left navigation bar.
  2. Click 'Edit' next to the desired project.
