# View domain history

If you have an Admin or TechAdmin role, you can use the *Version History* feature to see which users have made domain-level changes to your account.

- If changes were made to **Administration** > **General Settings**, you can see exactly which features were changed.
- If changes were made to any other tab in **Administration**, you can see that a change was made, but you won't be able to view details.

To view domain history:

1. In Sitecore Search, on the menu bar, click **Administration**, then **Domain Settings**.
2. In the **General Settings** tab, click **Version History**. On the left, you see a list of versions that your domain has gone through. Sitecore Search creates a version each time a user updates a setting in **Administration** and publishes their changes.
3. To see changes between a version and the previous one, click a version and then, at the top, click **Show difference**.

    > [!note]
    > -   In the **Domain Information** section, in red, you can see the incremented version ID, the UTC date this version was created, and the user who created this version. For example, you might see **VERSION** *18*, **LAST MODIFIED** 30 minutes ago, and **MODIFIED BY** *John Doe*.
    >
    > -   If a version was created because of a change in **Administration** > **General Settings**, you'll see the change, in red, in one of the **Version History** sections.
