In notification emails about published revisions, link to the revisions page #560
As a user of the bookmarks feature looking to be notified about changes to an asset of interest, I would like a convenient way to reach information about what has changed since the previous published revision from the notification email about a new published revision.
Background
The current email template at the time of this writing looks like this:
Dear \<name>,
In the Finance Data Catalogue, you previously bookmarked the metadata record “foo“, which is a Form.
It has just been updated. Click to view the updated record:
In the above, there are actually two links to the same page- one in the first sentence on the name of the MR, and one in the bulleted list. I feel like there is opportunity here to be more helpful to the user.
Describe the idea
One option is, in the bullet point link, link to the overall revisions page for the record, and change "Click to view the updated record" to instead say "Click to see the latest revisions"
A step up from that would be to link to an inline comparison view comparing the newly published revision with the published revision before it (saving the user the step of selecting those revisions and clicking the compare button).
