History & Activity

Checklist/Workbench/Status/History

Six months from now, can you say who accepted a species and why? Every decision on a checklist is provenance, not just a status flip, and the Workbench keeps a running record of who did what and when, so the answer is always yes.

  1. 1

    Recent Changes

    A live feed of review-status changes, taxonomy votes, merges, and evidence updates, in the order they happened.

  2. 2

    Recent Comments

    Every discussion post across the whole checklist, in one feed, so you don't have to open each species to catch up on what reviewers are saying.

  3. 3

    History Timeline

    The full activity log grouped by genus/taxon, so you can audit one branch of the tree at a time instead of scrolling a single flat list.

  4. 4

    Traceable, always

    Every entry records the actor and a relative timestamp, so a decision made months ago is still traceable back to the person who made it. Entries link straight back to what changed: a status flip opens the species it happened on, a taxonomy vote opens the conflict it resolved.
