A change management system generates change records corresponding to changes to tracked documents, and stores a master control file comprising metadata records that respectively correspond to the tracked documents and which comprise a tracked metadata field and a time field. Responsive to detecting that a change to a given document is of a predefined type, the tracked metadata field in the corresponding metadata record is modified, and the time field in that metadata record is updated accordingly. In response to a problem event, it is determined that the problem event relates to the given document, and, based on the time field, a subset of the change records is selected. Each change record in the subset corresponds to the given document. A problem change record is identified from the change records in the subset, and used to revert the given document to a state previous to the problem event.
