Authors are claiming that the value of a field in a document has changed over time. I can’t find evidence of it. I am using the GUI to look a revision history, but that is slow (and error prone) when the authors have created 10 or more revisions in the last hour or 2.
Ideally, I would like to look at a specific property of all the revisions of a document - either in the query manager or in the console.
How can I do that?

You’d only be able to do this programmatically…otherwise you have to
go through the revision history in the cms or in the console. You
could write a groovy script for it if you want to do it
programmatically without redeploy

Suppose you have a “sample document”. Locate its “preview” document variant node (@hippostd:state=“unpublished”) because only the “preview” document variant node keeps JCR version history internally in our repository:
@jcr:versionHistory reference, which points to the version history folder node for that specific “preview” document preview variant node. Also, @jcr:baseVersion tells you that the current preview variant node is based on that specific revision node.
Click on the link of the @jcr:versionHistory, and you will see all the revisions underneath:
If you select the latest revision (v1.3) and its child node called jcr:frozenNode, you will see the real content of the document at the specific revision, which was frozen safely:
Now, if you investigate the revision v1.2, you will see the old title property: “Lorem12”:
That’s how revisions are maintained for a document in brXM JCR repository.
If you need to do it programmatically, you might want to either use or refer to HST Content Version Utils forge library [1].
