When you persist changes in MU sessions, does that truncate the change log?

Hi Hive mind, I want to better understand what Multiusers session are doing in the background here.

We have a Virtual Production set up, and our lead system launches the project on our 3 render nodes, which display viewports on the LED wall. We use SVN for source control, but when we have an image up on the wall, all the systems must be in a MU session in order to see live changes.

that being said, if i “persist changes” on my lead system, i am saving the changes that have occured in my MU session to my local machine – it does not persist on the other systems at this time, but, what happens to the change log?

Does the log get truncated? and effectively start over from my system’s new ‘save’ ??

The answer has implications for source control, and our workflow. If yes, we will have to commit/update each node when ever we persist. If ‘no,’ meaning the change log maintains its full list of entries, then we can continue work and commit/update at EOD.

thoughts?

Can i answer my own question? It appears to be a “no.”

After persisting, the change log as viewed in the multiuser window in UE still appears to contain all previous changes. To have a new list, once needs to create a new multi user session, either in the editor, or via switchboard (in our environment)

any changes not contained in the MU session log needs to be deployed via source control
