--- title: See one product's full history | Actorly description: Open any product in Actorly to see every recorded change to it, with the value before and after each. Two routes: from a change, or from the Data room. canonical: https://actorly.app/docs/find-what-changed/see-one-products-history --- # See one product's full history To see everything that has happened to one product, open any change to it and choose **All changes to this record**, or open the product in the Data room and read what has changed, field by field. The first route lists every recorded change to the product, with its before and after value, in Changes. The second shows each field's value now and how many times it changed. The same two routes work for a collection, a theme or any other record Actorly records. Watch and Restore Updated Oct 15, 2026 ### On this page 1. What do I need before I start? 2.

Frequently asked questions ### In this topic: Find what changed - [Read a change: before, after, when and who](https://actorly.app/docs/find-what-changed/reading-a-change) - [Search and filter your changes](https://actorly.app/docs/find-what-changed/search-and-filters) - [Browse everything Actorly holds in the Data room](https://actorly.app/docs/find-what-changed/data-room) - [See one product's full history](https://actorly.app/docs/find-what-changed/see-one-products-history) - [Find a deleted product or other item](https://actorly.app/docs/find-what-changed/find-a-deleted-product) ## What do I need before I start? The product must be one Actorly records, and the change must be one Actorly recorded. Actorly has no before-and-after values for changes made before it was installed, and cannot put those values back. How far back you can see also depends on your plan: 3 months on Actorly Watch, unlimited on Actorly Restore. ## How do I see a product's history from a change? Use this route when you already know one change you care about. 1 **Open Changes.** Choose **Changes** in the app's menu. 2 **Find a change to the product.** Search for its name, or filter by **Resource**. See [Search and filter your changes](https://actorly.app/docs/find-what-changed/search-and-filters). 3 **Choose View.** The change window opens, headed with the product's name. 4 **Choose All changes to this record.** It is a link at the top of the window and shows how many changes there are, for example "All changes to this record (2)". The page then reads **History of** and the product's name. 5 **Read the list.** The table lists every recorded change to that product, ordered by when Shopify says it happened, with **View** on each row for the before and after. The change window also has its own section, **History of this record**, which lists the five most recent earlier changes and counts up to "50+". It says "Recorded since {date}. First version: created." or "install snapshot", and **See all changes to this record** opens the full list. ## How do I see a product's history from the Data room? Use this route when you want to start from the product rather than from a change. 1 **Open the Data room.** Choose **Data room** in the app's menu, then the card for **Products**. 2 **Find the product.** Use the search box, or the **Changes** filter set to **Has changes**. The top of the Products list. The Actorly column says Tracked, and Status is the product status. A development store. 3 **Choose View.** A window opens over the list with every field Actorly stores and the history behind each value. 4 **Read What has changed.** Each row is a field that has changed, with its value before and after and a line such as "Changed 3 times, most recently" a date. The top of an item window: one row for each field that has changed, with the count and the latest date. Only two rows are shown. A development store. 5 **Read Everything else Actorly holds.** These are the fields that have not changed since Actorly started recording them. ## How do I read what I find? Each row in the Changes history is one change: what changed, when, who made it with how sure Actorly is, and a **View** button for the before and after. Variants are recorded separately from products, so a price change shows on the variant's own history, not on the product's. Open the **Variants** card in the Data room to find it. In the Data room window, a record that was already there when Actorly first recorded it carries one line above its tables: "Actorly first recorded this on {date}. The values were already set before then, and Actorly cannot tell for how long." A product created while Actorly was watching says "Created on {date}, while Actorly was watching." ## If something goes wrong - **"We could not load this change. Try again."** Choose **Try again** in the change window. - **The history looks short.** Check whether the product's kind is still importing: the Data room kind page says "Actorly is still importing these, so this list will grow", and the change window says "Actorly is still reading your store" and "Not seeing a change here does not mean it did not happen." See [Is Actorly recording my store?](https://actorly.app/docs/when-something-looks-wrong/is-actorly-recording). - **A date range hides older changes.** The Changes list opens on Last 30 days. Choose **All time** to see the rest. - **A deleted product.** Its history stays. See [Find a deleted product or other item](https://actorly.app/docs/find-what-changed/find-a-deleted-product). ## A worked example Sample: "Example tee" was created, had its description changed twice and its price changed once. In the Data room under Products it shows Changes 3. In its Data room window, **What has changed** lists Description, changed 2 times, and the product's own fields. The price is on the **Variants** card, under the variant. In Changes, choose **View** on any row and then **All changes to this record**: three rows, newest first. The two description changes open to a before and after. The creation opens to "The whole record was created, so there are no field-by-field changes." The Who column shows a confidence word or Unknown for each. ## Frequently asked questions ### Why does the history start on a particular date? That is the day Actorly started recording this record. Values already set then are shown, but Actorly cannot tell for how long they had been set. ### Why is a variant's price change not on the product? Variants are recorded separately from products, so a price change shows on the variant's own history. ### Can I see a deleted product's history? Yes. Deleted items are kept with their last recorded values. ### Can I put an old value back from the history? Open the change and choose **Restore this value**, for fields Actorly can put back. See [Restore one field to an earlier value](https://actorly.app/docs/put-a-value-back/restore-a-field). ### How many changes can the history count? The change window counts up to "50+" and lists the five most recent. **All changes to this record** opens the full list in Changes. ## Related articles [Read a change: before, after, when and who Open any change in Actorly to see the value before and after, when it happened, who made it with how sure Actorly is, and how Actorly learned of it.](https://actorly.app/docs/find-what-changed/reading-a-change)[Browse everything Actorly holds in the Data room The Data room lists everything Actorly holds about your store, one page per kind of record, with each field's current value and the history behind it.](https://actorly.app/docs/find-what-changed/data-room)[Search and filter your changes Search Changes by what changed and narrow it by resource, type of change, who, how sure Actorly is and date.](https://actorly.app/docs/find-what-changed/search-and-filters) **Still stuck?** Chat with us, or write to [team@actorly.app](mailto:team@actorly.app).
