Can I view a list of updates/changes made by SEO people and content writers to a CMS hosted website on Webflow?

You cannot view a detailed changelog of updates made by SEO specialists or content writers directly within Webflow's native CMS interface. However, there are a few strategies to track changes effectively.

1. Webflow Editor and Designer Limitations

• Webflow does not maintain a version history of individual CMS items.
• You cannot see who made specific changes or when a CMS field was updated.
• Changes to site structure in the Designer can be reversed using Restore Backup, but backups are manual or time-based—not triggered by each CMS edit.

2. Enable Webflow Backups

• Go to Project Settings > Backups to find automatic or manual backups.
• While you can’t see exact content edits, you can restore older site versions to compare changes manually.
• Best for high-level structural changes, not for granular CMS edits.

3. Use External Version Tracking

To track SEO or content updates more precisely:

• Export your CMS collections regularly (CMS > Collection > Export CSV).
• Use Google Sheets or Airtable with version tracking or external tools like:
• Little Warden – Monitors SEO changes.
• ContentKing – Tracks real-time on-page SEO/content changes.
• Visualping or ChangeTower – Sends alerts when webpage content changes.
• Use Webflow’s API to trigger a webhook and log changes in external systems if writers edit items via custom apps.

4. Audit Log Alternative via Team Workflow

• Implement a manual logging system: Require your SEO or content team to log updates in a shared doc or task manager.
• If you use tools like Zapier or Make, link CMS updates to a Google Sheet or Slack channel for real-time change tracking.

5. Limit Access with Roles

• Use Webflow’s Editor roles (on Enterprise or paid plans) to give limited edit access.
• This won’t show a changelog but helps control what can be changed.

Summary

Webflow doesn’t provide detailed update logs for CMS content. To track changes, use external tools, export data regularly, or implement workflow-based tracking. For robust versioning, you’ll need to integrate third-party monitoring or logging solutions.
