# View configuration pipeline history

> Note
> 
> The **Pipelines history** feature is under active development.

Grafana Fleet Management tracks changes to configuration pipelines and displays them in the **Pipelines history** feature on the **Remote configuration** tab. With pipeline history, your team can collaborate more efficiently, ensure audit compliance, and troubleshoot issues caused by configuration changes.

Use the **Pipelines history** view for a high-level overview of all changes to your pipelines in reverse chronological order. Each event is a snapshot of the configuration pipeline and its matching attributes at the time the change was made. The Pipelines history log tracks creation and deletion of pipelines, changes to configuration content, and modifications to matching attributes.

You can review changes for a specific pipeline by searching the log for a pipeline name, ID, or matching attribute. To view changes to configuration content, click the **History details** button in an event row and examine the pipeline on its own or compare it with another version of the same pipeline. Changes to matching attributes can be seen on the log page or in the **History details** page.

## Compare versions of configuration pipelines

From the **History details** page, choose a view for comparing pipeline versions:

- The **Single** view displays only the selected pipeline version.
- The **Split** view displays two versions side-by-side without additional formatting.
- The **Diff** view displays two versions side-by-side with the differences highlighted.

Select the versions you want to compare from the dropdown lists.

## Restore configuration pipeline versions

To revert to another version of an existing pipeline, click the **Restore** button above that version’s display window. In the **Restore Pipeline Version** window, review the configuration version to make sure it’s the one you want, select the matching attributes to assign to the restored version, and click **Restore**.

> Note
> 
> Configuration pipelines synced from GitHub or Terraform, and pipelines created by the [Instrumentation Hub](/docs/grafana-cloud/get-started/inst-hub-setup/) setup workflow, can’t be modified in the Fleet Management application. Restoring previous versions of these pipelines from the UI is also restricted.

### How it works

When you restore a pipeline version, the pipeline content, state, and attributes are affected:

- Restoring a pipeline version overwrites the configuration of the current pipeline.
- A restored pipeline is set to the same Active or Inactive state as the pipeline it overwrites.
- When a pipeline version is restored, its matching attributes can also be restored, or the matching attributes from the overwritten pipeline can be persisted in the restored version.

> Note
> 
> Deleted pipelines can’t be recovered from this workflow. They must be [restored manually](/docs/grafana-cloud/send-data/fleet-management/manage-fleet/pipelines/troubleshoot-pipelines/#configuration-pipeline-was-deleted-from-application) by copying the configuration content from the **History details** page, pasting it into a new pipeline from the **Remote configuration** view, and adding the matching attributes.

## Troubleshoot pipeline issues

Refer to [Troubleshoot configuration pipeline issues](/docs/grafana-cloud/send-data/fleet-management/manage-fleet/pipelines/troubleshoot-pipelines/) for ideas on how to use **Pipelines history** to diagnose problems.
