Bibliographic records editing history
Here is an enhancement request concerning bibliographic records editing history.
Currently, the "View Versions" can only tell the different version of a bib. record. However, this cannot tell logging history of updating/editing the bib. records, e.g. who add/remove a MARC fields/who suppressed/released the bib. record etc. This is no history tab to keep tracking the changes of a bib. record which is unlike other history tab functionality available in other Alma pages, e.g.
• The PO Line Summary page when editing a PO line
• The Physical Item Editor page when editing item records
• The License Terms Details page when editing license details
It is good to know logging history of updating/editing the bib. record for a record life cycle.

To add context to this for the developers:
bib record editing changes:
at present, to identify changes to a bib, we review each version. sometimes, it's a time-consuming process because the changes made to the bib record are not summarized (as they are for the PO Line Summary page) as Lois points out.current version bib record -- most recent cataloger who made updates:
at present, if we want to know who edited the CURRENT record, we must make a change to the current record, save it, and then view the newly-added second to last version of the record using the View versions feature.
