Audit history and record recovery

View captured changes

Open an organisation and select Audit. Filter the timeline by event type, date range, app or user, then open an item to see its details.

For supported update events, Tape Vault retrieves the revision difference from Tape when you open the item. Viewing the timeline and loading a live difference are separate operations: stored history may be available even when Tape is temporarily unavailable.

Only changes that emit webhooks can be captured. Read Coverage and limitations before treating the timeline as a complete account of every revision.

Before using recovery

You need the Recovery or Organisation admin Vault role, an active organisation, and suitable Tape access, including records:read and records:edit on the connected token.

Recovery buttons apply changes to Tape immediately. They are not previews. Read the notices on the event page, check the organisation and record, and use a disposable test record when trying recovery for the first time.

Roll back an update

Open the update event and review the difference. Roll back applies supported writable field values from before that change.

Later edits to those affected fields may be overwritten. Rollback is not a merge and there is no general undo button for the operation. Field-type coverage is limited; some representations of previously empty values are not restored. Check the result directly in Tape.

Calculated and other non-writable fields are excluded.

Restore a deleted record

Open a delete event and review the recovery notice. Tape Vault first attempts Tape's native restore.

If native restoration cannot be used, a stored deleted-record capture may allow recreation. Recreation produces a new record ID; references to the old record are not automatically repaired. A permission refusal stops the operation rather than attempting a different write.

The recreation option depends on a usable capture and the organisation's retention settings. Logs and deletes retention can capture deleted-record data for future events; enabling it later does not supply a missing earlier capture.

If no usable capture exists and Tape cannot restore the record natively, this recovery path cannot recreate it.

After recovery

Check the record in Tape, especially references, field values and calculated results. Do not assume every field or relationship was reconstructed.
