Change activity log to track all changes made to the dataset IN DETAIL #3399

Open lauradryad opened 4 weeks ago

Problem description, and links to relevant helpdesk tickets:

Currently, the activity log only captures the high level status changes that occur in a dataset, but not what was changed within the dataset on each version. While the Review page does highlight the changes, this requires curators to edit a dataset in order to find out what changed. In addition, this feature will assist when we allow multiple collaborators in a dataset so they can see what each other has changed.

Describe the solution you'd like: We would like for the activity log to capture the specific details of what is changed within a dataset instead of relying on the author to describe their changes. I'm not sure what detail one is able to capture at this level, but at least marking which sections were altered or files changed would be helpful.
