Version history ​

BraDypUS keeps an automatic snapshot of every record every time it is saved or deleted. The Version history drawer lets you browse these snapshots, compare them with the current state, and restore a previous version.

Opening the version history ​

Open any record in RecordView and click Version history in the record header.

A drawer slides in from the right listing all snapshots, newest first.

Snapshot list ​

Each entry shows:

  • Operation badge — update, delete or restore
  • Timestamp — when the change was made
  • User — who made the change

Comparing a snapshot ​

Click a snapshot to load the diff view. Changed fields are highlighted; unchanged fields are dimmed.

Select which fields to restore using the checkboxes, or use Select all to restore the entire record to that snapshot.

Restoring a snapshot ​

Admin required

The restore button is only visible to users with admin privilege or higher.

After selecting fields (or all), click Restore selected. A confirmation dialog appears before the restore is applied.

On success, the record is updated and the version history shows a new restore entry.

Deleted records ​

If a record has been soft-deleted, the version history shows its last known state with a banner indicating it was deleted. Restoring from a deleted record snapshot recreates the record with all its previous field values.
