## Inspect the original label and copy history

1. **Open a previously recorded run**

   Open a previously recorded run.

   History preserves the exact original label bytes and per-copy outcomes. New templates and rules do not rewrite accepted jobs.

2. **Inspect the retained label identity**

   Inspect the retained label identity.

   The stored document hash identifies the original bytes. Submitted means the printer accepted the request, not that physical output was checked.

3. **Open print history**

   Open print history.

   Use this history for the original run, linked reprints and uncertainty evidence. Keep submission, operator observation and physical confirmation separate.
