Updating an acknowledged comment on DLM Dashboard 1.7 due to a typo

Good day,

I hope you are well.

I understand that the DLM Dashboard tool has been retired for quite some time but is there any way of updating an acknowledged comment on DLM Dashboard 1.7 due to a typo? What are the possible options around correcting the comment?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi SeannM 

    Thank you for reaching out on the Redgate forums regarding your DLM Dashboard question.

     

    As you've confirmed, DLM is a retired product so suggestions are made at a risk.  

    Unfortunately, DLM Dashboard doesn’t provide any supported way to edit or amend an acknowledged comment once it’s been saved. 

    Those comments are written directly into the Dashboard’s internal data store, which is based on a RavenDB, and there is no UI or API exposed for safely modifying them after the fact.

     

    While it is technically possible to change the data by editing the RavenDB database directly, this is not something we recommend. 

    It’s complex, undocumented, and carries a real risk of corrupting the Dashboard’s state or audit history; especially since the product has been retired and is no longer maintained.

     

    In practice, the safest options are:

    • Leave the original comment as-is and add a new comment clarifying or correcting the typo
    • Or, if this is for audit or compliance purposes, document the correction externally (for example in your ticketing or change-management system)

    I know it’s not ideal for small typos, but this approach preserves the integrity of the audit trail and avoids risking the underlying data store.

    Hope that helps.
