History and restore

Every saved version of a data point, who changed it, and how to put an earlier value back.

Every time a data point's value is saved, the previous value is kept. The History panel on the data point toolbar shows that trail, newest first, with the live value pinned at the top.

What each entry tells you

An entry shows the content, when it was saved and who saved it. Badges explain how the change came about:

BadgeMeaning
CurrentThe value in the report right now.
AIWritten by the assistant inside The Cards.
AI-generatedThe content originated from AI and has not been edited since.
Edited after AISomeone changed an AI-written value by hand.
AgentWritten through an MCP token by an external AI client. The entry names the person whose token was used.
RestoredThis version came from a restore.
From previous reportThe value arrived through a report copy or migration.
No changeSaved, but identical to the version after it.

Together these are the audit trail. They are what makes it possible to answer "who wrote this number, and was a person involved" months later.

The history panel for one data point. Two saved versions are listed newest first, each with the name of the person who saved it, a date and time, and the text that was saved. The top version carries a Current badge.
The live value sits at the top under the Current badge, with the version it replaced below it. Restore appears on every entry except the current one.

Restoring an earlier version

Choose Restore on any past version and confirm.

Restoring does not delete anything. It writes the old content as a new version at the top of the history, so the value you restored over is still there. The trail only ever grows.

Restore requires write access to the report and an Active report.

Values that came from another report

When a data point was filled by copying a report, the history shows a card above the timeline explaining where it came from: the source report, the source data point id, and the version mapping used if the standard changed.

If Keep changelog was selected during the copy, the source report's own history for that field is carried across too, and the timeline below continues into the previous year.
