Execution and the Change Ledger

When you approve a decision, QueryRev prepares its change: exactly how the page will change, checked by your policy. The change runs through your WordPress connection, or as a task with exact values for a person to make. Every change that reaches a site is written to the Change Ledger with its before and after.

Key takeaways

  • Nothing reaches a site except through policy.
  • A run reads the live page first and stops if it no longer matches what was approved.
  • A failed run leaves nothing half written.
  • A rollback reads the page live, writes the earlier values back and records it in the ledger.

The Execution Center

Execution lists every change of the workspace, from proposed to verified, as a list or a timeline. A new change is first prepared and checked by policy. Filter it by status, site, path or assignee, and save a view for yourself or for the workspace. At the top, Connections shows each site’s write connection and anything that blocks work.

The statuses of a change.
  • Waiting Approval

    What it means
    It waits for its approval chain.
  • Ready

    What it means
    Approved, by a person or by policy; it waits for a member who may execute.
  • Running

    What it means
    It is being applied to the site, or waits for a person or a window.
  • Verifying

    What it means
    It is live, and its result is being measured.
  • Done

    What it means
    Its outcome was read: Successful, No Effect or Failed. Done means verified, not published.
  • Failed

    What it means
    It did not apply. Nothing was left applied.
  • Rolled Back

    What it means
    The earlier values were written back.
  • Closed

    What it means
    It was withdrawn, or its outcome closed without a result, such as Inconclusive.

A change that waits always says why, such as Waiting for the publish window, Paused by the kill switch or Waiting for the connection, never only Scheduled.

Read and approve a change

Open a change for its Change Detail. Proposed Changes lists each field it will write. Preview and Diff shows the before, read live from the page, beside the after, with the search snippet at desktop and phone widths. Policy Status and Approval Requirements say which rules matched and who must approve.

If you are on its chain, vote to approve, reject it with a reason, or ask a question. Edit saves a new version: every vote on the earlier version is void, and the policy checks the new one. Once it is approved, a member who may execute chooses Start, and the policy is checked again just before it writes.

How a run checks itself

  1. It reads each field live and compares it with the before that was approved.
  2. If the page changed since, it stops and shows a three-way diff, so a person chooses which version to keep.
  3. It applies the change, then reads the page back to check every field.
  4. It writes the before and after to the Change Ledger, and the change moves to Verifying.

If a step fails, the run ends with nothing left applied, and the change says what to do next.

How a change reaches your site

WordPress: install and activate the QueryRev plugin on the site, then open Integrations, choose Changes to your sites and Connect WordPress. Enter the site’s WordPress address, copy the connection code, and paste it in WordPress under Settings, then QueryRev. The plugin acts as its own WordPress user that may edit titles, descriptions, canonical and robots tags, content sections and internal links of posts, pages and products, create drafts, unpublish a page and add 301 redirects. It never installs plugins or changes themes, users or settings.

Human task: when no connection can make a change, QueryRev gives a person a task with the exact values to enter. When you have made it, choose Mark done; QueryRev then reads the live page and checks every field, the same as after an automatic run.

Only a Founder or an SEO Manager connects or disconnects a site. Disconnecting stops writes at once; approved changes wait until the site is connected again.

Roll back a change

Roll back, on Change Detail, reads the page live, writes back the values from before, and records the rollback in the ledger. A rollback needs a person who may approve; it never runs by itself. Measuring the change stops when it is rolled back. A rollback of a human task is a new task with the before values.

The Change Ledger

Changes is the Change Ledger: what QueryRev and your team changed on your sites, before and after, in order. Each entry says who wrote it, AI, a person or both, who approved it, what it was expected to add, and its outcome now.

Show it as a timeline or a table, filter it by site, author, period or page path, and export the entries shown as a CSV file. Entries are only ever added: none is edited or removed afterwards.
