Change logs rendered by the real widget
These are the actual published outputs of the widget for a sample guide: the default log, a timeline style with markers, oldest first with visible labels, and a description with bold and code formatting.
02 / Inside WordPress
Document change log controls in Elementor
Content › Entries is a repeater of date, version, description, source link and link text. Behaviour sets the order (as entered, newest or oldest first) and allows bold, italic, code and line breaks. Display sets the heading and level, date format, visible or screen-reader labels, default link text, empty text and an optional marker icon. The Style tab covers the list spacing, entry padding, background, border and radius, heading, date and version, description, source link states and marker.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use document change log
Guides, policies and documentation change over time, and readers want to know what changed and when. Typing the history into a text box gets messy and inconsistent. Document change log keeps each change as a dated entry with an optional version and source link, formats dates consistently and can sort newest or oldest first.
Guides and documentation
Keep readers informed about updates to a long guide.
Product pages
List version history for a downloadable product or template.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot document change log
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is an entry's date missing?
The date is not a valid YYYY-MM-DD date. The entry is still shown, without a date.
Why is my HTML shown as text?
Descriptions are plain text unless Allow bold, italic, code and line breaks is on, and then only those tags are kept.
Why does sorting put some entries last?
Entries without a valid date are listed after dated ones when sorting by date.
Why is a link not shown?
Only http, https and site-relative links are used; other link types are ignored.
