Data version history

Data version history keeps snapshots of your app’s data as it changes, so a workspace admin can review, download, and restore an earlier version of an entity’s records. It gives you a safety net when data is edited, imported, or deleted by mistake.

2. Under Security & Control, click Governance.
3. Turn on Enable version history.

2. Click Data, then select the entity you want.
3. Click the More Actions icon and select Data version history.
