Changelog: Track indexing status over time

Learn how to use the Changelog in IndexCheckr to view timestamped status changes for every page in your project.

The Changelog shows the full history of status changes for all pages within a project. Each entry records what changed, when it changed, and for which URL. This helps you monitor indexing progress over time and identify trends or issues.

To open it, click the ChangeLog button at the top of a project’s Pages Report. The links in email notifications also lead here.

Each row in the changelog includes:

  • Check At: when the status change was detected

  • URL: the page URL

  • Previous Status

  • Current Status

  • Actions: click View in Pages to open the Pages Report filtered on that URL, where you can recheck the page, edit it or submit it to an indexer

When a page is first added to a project, its first entry shows New Page as the previous status, followed by the status found at its first check. This lets you trace every change from the moment a page enters the system.

The changelog only records actual changes: if a recheck finds the same status as before, no new entry is added.

At the top of the changelog, you'll find:

  • A Search URLs field to filter by URL

  • A Current Status filter to show only changes to a given status, for example every page that became Page not indexed

There’s also an Export to CSV button to download the full changelog of the project for reporting or archival purposes.

💡 Tip: The changelog is also available through the IndexCheckr API, so you can feed status changes into your own reports or alerts.


Summary

The changelog helps you audit changes and understand how each page’s status has evolved over time.
