I manage my roadmap in Asana with multiple team members having access to adjust priorities. It would be great to have version control and track changes in a single location. And have the ability to open old versions of a project and restore if necessary.

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us, @Peter_Haller! You can currently find the history of changes on the tasks and see the previous version under the “Show original” option.
We don’t have immediate plans to implement this feature for the entire project but I’ll keep you updated if we have any news in the future!

Hi,
I need to know, how can I retrieve the old version of Projects, tasks and forms.
The challenge faced is that a user changes / deletes a field in a form or a task in a project and I am not able to roll back to previous version or see who made the changes.

I don’t understand how I find this information. Can you give clearer instructions on “find the history of changes on the tasks” Where is that?
And in a cloud based system, there should always be an option to restore an entire project. Please move this up on your list of priorities.

Hi @Adria_Kitchens , you might want to have a look at the backup app that our team has built for Asana. It’s a backup app that allows you to restore (i.e. creating copies) of snapshots of your projects.
You will find more on Asana’s app market: https://asana.com/apps/probackup

@Emily_Roman @Peter_Haller - Hi All, is there any way to restrict someone from deleting the Audit/Version Control history on a task shown in Emily’s Screenshot from January 2021?
Thank you,
Ryan
Hi, Was there ever an answer to this? I’m in a similar situation now where a user has gone into edit mode and managed to add their answers as filed names and labels. I need to roll the form back to how it was.
Easy Solution (and best practice): Don’t allow everyone to edit Forms!
You should have one person thats responsible for workflows, custom fields, rules and general asana administration and such.
When editing Forms, Keep the old one, duplicate it, then make a new one. This way you always have the old one.
As far as i know, those Infos can’t be deleted.
Thanks @_josh
I just had a situation where someone accidentally deleted a record. I was thrilled by how easy and intuitive it was to find that record in Pro Backup, and restore it, without messing with other data. Dream come true!

Hi! To always have access to critical project data, consider using a third-party data protection solution such as FluentPro Backup, developed by the company I represent. This cloud platform provides automated Asana backup and restore features. The backup process runs in the background, saving tasks and project versions whenever changes are made. In case of losing or corrupting data, you can quickly restore it from a previously created backup version.
Hi @Roswitha_Warda I missed this before but super happy to hear that you were able to recover the lost item with our tool.
If others are interested, we recently published a new tutorial video on how to restore data for Asana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAbJujhSrGk
Hi everyone! Since it wasn’t intuitive for me to find based off of the screenshot, you can find this activity log to the right of “Comments” beneath the task description.
