Using the time vault

The time vault is a catalogue of deleted entities. Nothing is permanently lost; any deleted entity can be recovered from here.

The HERITRACE time vault interface, showing a list of deleted resources

The time vault’s interface is intentionally similar to the main catalogue, making it easy to use:

  • Categories Panel: On the left, you can browse deleted items by their category.
  • Deleted Resources List: On the right, you see the list of deleted items for the selected category.
  • Sorting: You can sort the items using various criteria. In addition to the standard options, you can also sort by Deletion Time, which is useful for finding recently deleted items.

For each item in the list, you have two primary actions:

  • View Last Valid Version: This allows you to see the state of the resource right before it was deleted.
  • Restore: This button restores the entity to your collection and removes it from the time vault.
