LabArchives keeps track of every action made to an entry or a page within a notebook—whether an addition, deletion, or modification—is automatically timestamped, creating an immutable audit trail. This includes access to the full revision history allowing you to keep track of all edits and revert to earlier versions of the item. The history includes a timestamp, the action taken, the name of the member that made an edit, and the IP address of the member.
On the right side of each entry in LabArchives, you'll find a timestamp showing the most recent change made to that entry. This timestamp is securely generated using a trusted global time source and cannot be altered. While the displayed time zone reflects your device's system clock, users cannot create or manipulate false timestamps.
LabArchives also provides a revision history at two levels: page-level, which shows all changes across the page, and entry-level, which tracks changes made to a specific entry.
Page Revisions History
To view a page’s revision history, click Page Tools (the tools icon next to the New Entry toolbar) and select View revisions. This opens a complete log of all changes made to entries on the page.
To restore an earlier version of an entry, click Revert to this version. If an entry has been deleted, you can recover it by selecting Undelete.
To see how the page looked at a specific point in time, click the timestamp of a revision. A blue banner will appear, indicating you're viewing a previous version. Use Older revision and Newer revision to step through changes. To return to the most recent version, click Current version.
Entry Revisions History
To view the revisions for an entry, from the entry toolbar click the triple-dot icon and select View revisions.
The revision history will display a list of changes made to the entry over time.
To view a previous version of an entry, click the timestamp associated with that revision. To restore that version, click Revert to this version. This action is also recorded in the revision history. Each revision is assigned a unique entry version number, which can be useful when reviewing the page's overall revision history.
