Fact version history

Every fact maintains a complete history of changes, including who made each edit and when.

Viewing version history

  1. Go to a fact's detail page.
  2. Click the History tab.
  3. You see a list of all versions with:
    • Version number (auto‑incrementing)
    • Timestamp of change
    • User who made the change
    • Change summary (if provided during save)

What triggers a new version

  • Editing any field (subject, predicate, object, source URL, body, tags, attachments, category)
  • Certifying a fact (status change from Draft to Certified)
  • Unpublishing a fact (status change from Certified to Draft)
  • Generating an AI summary (content change)
  • Adding or removing attachments

Comparing versions

Click Compare next to any two versions. A diff view shows:

  • Added lines (green)
  • Removed lines (red)
  • Changed fields highlighted

Restoring a previous version

  1. In the History tab, find the version you want to restore.
  2. Click Restore.
  3. Confirm. The fact reverts to that version's content.
  4. If the restored version is from a time when the fact was Certified, the status becomes Draft — you must re‑certify.

Version retention

  • Free plan – 10 most recent versions.
  • Pro plan – 50 most recent versions.
  • Business plan – All versions, unlimited.

Audit log vs version history

Version history stores actual content changes (before/after). Audit log stores only that an action occurred, not the content. Use version history for content recovery; use audit log for security/compliance review.
