Use history and retained output to establish which source and revision supported a decision. Preserve the distinction between current data, earlier evidence and a completed downstream acceptance. A service restore or retention policy does not silently make old facts current again.
Read the exact retained version
Refresh history lists accepted snapshots. Table history records saved versions and reasons. Feed Run history retains generated files and evidence. Shop records retain original mappings, decisions, deliveries and stock outcomes. Follow the relevant identity and revision rather than relying on a date or display name alone.
A feed file being present does not prove KitProof accepted it. A shop event being queued does not prove StoresFlow confirmed its effect. Use the receiving evidence and supported original-event recovery where needed.
Preserve the complete site export
An Owner uses Download complete export from Overview with current authority and recent second-factor verification. The private archive contains the retained site inventory in one consistent read-only snapshot, with rows, hashes, types and redactions described by its manifest.
Keep null, empty text and exact codes distinct when importing its machine-readable CSV elsewhere. Authentication secrets and connection credentials are excluded or redacted as defined. The export is portability evidence, not a restoration backup and not a way to reopen a held site.
Review retention and restore deliberately
Owners inspect Shop record retention eligibility before activating the fixed protected policy. Eligible processed inbox metadata can expire after 30 elapsed UTC days and settled terminal-order detail after 400 days. Unresolved, uncertain, held and protected work retains its required detail; compact stock and replay evidence have their own retained meaning.
After restore, feeds need reconciliation against KitProof before new files can be generated. Source observations need current producer enrolment and reviewed binding; restoring their old timestamps does not renew age. Shop admission and receiver recovery have their own current checks.
Read each visible hold and recovery instruction. Reopening a workspace does not clear every individual hold. Retain the original source, run, order or observation references when asking support to reconcile the actual evidence.
