Motivation and Context
This is a new feature, that I think makes the product much more helpful in tracking the changes in an object. It allows the user to see what changes were made in each history object, and allows browsing of changes, and makes it much easier to track down a specific change in the history. This is a feature the admin team for our website asked me to add, and it seems like a nice piece of functionality to add back to the codebase. I'm very happy to take suggestions on ways I can approve this, and will go through the testing and linting etc if people like the suggestion
How Has This Been Tested?
