Activity and undo
Activity shows meaningful workspace changes and lets you reverse mistakes without restoring an entire backup.
On a phone, choose More → Activity. Wider layouts keep Activity in the workspace sidebar.
Read the timeline
Activity lists the newest changes first. Each entry names the affected records and meaningful fields, while whole-record creation or deletion is labeled as a record change. Stowplan's internal timestamps and version bookkeeping do not appear as user changes.
The separate Undo and reapply log shows each history action and the changes it targeted. Choose Show older changes or Show older actions when a retained list is longer than the first page. Viewers see the same timeline and log without editing controls.
Undo one change
Find the change and choose Undo this. Stowplan reverses that selected change while leaving unrelated later work intact when it is safe to do so.
Field-aware undo can pluck an older edit from the middle of the timeline. For example, undoing an older quantity edit keeps a newer Description edit on the same item. The undo becomes a new item revision rather than rewinding Stowplan's bookkeeping.
If a newer change edited the same information, Stowplan refuses the undo instead of overwriting the newer value. Review the message and correct the workspace manually if needed.
An undone entry offers Reapply. This uses the same safety check, so reapplying cannot silently overwrite a later edit to the same information.
Undo or redo a recent group
Set the number under Changes, then choose Undo [number] to reverse the latest applied changes. Choose Redo [number] to reapply the latest undone changes.
Use a small group when you can, then check the physical workspace before continuing. A batch stops safely if its expected values no longer match.
What Activity can restore
Capture, item edits, moves, plan-step completion, reviewed deletion, and other workspace changes appear in Activity. A confirmed Empty container action removes its item records and changes its status together, so one undo restores both. Changes that create or delete an entire record remain atomic because there is no surviving record whose fields can be merged independently.
Undo and reapply are themselves recorded, which makes the sequence inspectable by collaborators.
How long undo remains available
Undo history is bounded so a workspace can keep accepting new work. The oldest detailed entries eventually lose their undo action as the workspace reaches its history and storage limits.
Use a JSON backup when you need a durable checkpoint beyond the Activity window. See Backup and recovery.
