Hi, I have started to make use of databases for a few articles now (this might of been asked) but there does not seem to be any tracking history of changes nor any checks to prevent accidental value changes to entries.

The best I could find, was the ability to lock the table structure which prevents accidental changes there, but it would be nice if databases had the same history and draft/save prompts as a confluence article would be handled normally.

Is this feature(s) coming to databases please?

@Martin Cattroll 

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, version history is a frequently requested feature and it is on our roadmap, stay tuned!

That would be wonderful.  I've been periodically exporting the DB.

@Rebecca Dai Is there any news on change tracking in Confluence Databases or at least some sort of backup and restore? Our organisation is using databases extensively and is concerned a user deletes a row or something without anyone realising it. This is a big issue for us and other customers.

Databases is already supported in backup and restored and version history is currently being worked on. Stay tuned!

This is a major issue for my customer as well and might prevent him (with 2000 users) to rely upon databases.

Agree - this is a total blocker. Change tracking is a key part of everything else I use from Atlassian.
