At this time, you can only view a log of author changes from the list of Recent Integrations, which is submission-specific. We want to make this information also available from the regular Author biblio pages.

Implementation note: This FR was implemented on 2021-01-10, but only moderators have access to the new page. The reason is that our Data Deletion Policy (http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB:Policy#Data_Deletion_Policy) states:

"If a living author (or their authorized representative) requests that the ISFDB remove the author's detailed biographical information, the ISFDB will comply after confirming the requester's identity. The ISFDB will remove as much biographical data as needed in order to accommodate legitimate privacy concerns while preserving, to the extent possible, the work of the editors who have compiled the data. A note will be added to the author's record explaining what type of information has been removed and why."

If we were to make Author Edit History publicly available, it would defeat the purpose of the quoted policy.
