Version History, Audit Trails & Rollback

Enterprise grade audit trails and rollback built-in.

Note Versioning

💡

Sapience keeps an unlimited version history on your Notes, so you can rollback to any point in time, or just see how the Note has changed (e.g. if a team-mate made an edit you don’t love!).

Overview

Under the hood, a Sapience Note is stored in our own proprietary object storage system. This system has many benefits, including unlimited horizontal scale, with immediate consistency, even with globally distributed nodes that make up the Sapience backend. All of that results in powerful versioning capabilities for Sapience objects, and Notes in particular.

Key Things to Know:

  • Sapience keeps an unlimited version history of all Notes;
  • You can roll back to any point in time;
  • This is free of charge;
  • This also creates a powerful audit trail, which is important for HIPAA and GDPR compliance;
  • Any change to the object creates a version, so renaming the Note, regenerating the Note Description, or adding a Tag will all trigger a version increment.

Walkthrough:

Let’s see how this works in action. You can follow along with this using any Note that you have already created and edited at least once.

From within the Note Editor, click File > Version History, or, on the main page viewer, as seen below, you can choose Version History from the More dropdown button when viewing a Note:

From the main Note viewer, in the More menu, you will see ‘View Version History’.

Clicking on it will bring up this window, which allows you to view, or rollback-to any previous version of the Note.  This is great if someone clobbers your content in a shared Note!

Here you can see that this simple Note was edited multiple times, and we are now looking at v5 of the Note.
