Work History

Overview

Work History lists publication runs as work states. Each row includes summary fields (publication name, operation type, status) and supports drill-down into run details.

Details

The Details view shows descriptive statistics and a summary of the system’s reasoning for the run.

Open a pull request or merge request

A staged work item can be converted into an opened pull request or merge request.

1. Open a Work History entry.
2. Select Open PR or Open MR.

Files

The Files view lists the files modified during the run and shows file changes for each file.

Preview a Markdown file

Markdown files support a preview toggle that renders the full file content instead of only the file changes. Other file types continue to show the file changes view.

Download a file

1. Open a Work History entry.
2. Select Files.
3. Select the download icon for a file.

Note: Use Download All to download a single ZIP archive that contains every file listed in the Files view for the selected work item.

Upload a file

File upload uses a per-file upload action.

1. Open a Work History entry.
2. Select Files.
3. Select the upload icon for a file.
4. Select a local file.

Note: Upload is disabled when a pull request or merge request URL is associated with the work item.

Exclude a file from a pull or merge request

The Files view supports excluding specific files before opening a pull request (GitHub) or merge request (GitLab).

1. Open a Work History entry.
2. Select Files.
3. Discard the file that is unnecessary.

To restore an excluded file, select the restore action for the file.

Excluded files are tracked on the work state and are reflected in the Files view.

Add a file

Files can be added directly to a draft work item by selecting a file and specifying a destination path.

1. Open a Work History entry.
2. Select Files.
3. Select the add file icon.
4. Enter the destination file path.
5. Select a local file.

Note: Upload is disabled when a pull request or merge request URL is associated with the work item.

Messages

The Messages view lets users send messages to Doc Holiday from the Messages view.

When the work item is running, the Messages view instructs users to wait until Doc Holiday finishes before sending more messages.

When the work item is no longer in the staged editable state and an open PR or MR exists, the Messages view directs users to continue the conversation in GitHub or GitLab instead.

When the work item is staged and not running, the send message form is available.
