What Overview shows.

ActivityWhat changed in your store, counted from Actorly's ledger, with a View all changes button.
SafetyRestores done, Restores left, With a named actor, Types watched and History kept.
Needs your attentionWhat Actorly could not finish or read, or All clear when nothing needs a look.
Most changedThe items that changed most in the period you chose.
Who is making changesThe people and apps Shopify's activity log matched, and how many changes have no named actor yet.
Store and planYour plan, how many restores you have used in the last 30 days, and Manage plan.

Read the counts.

A change is one edit to one resource, so a bulk edit that touches 40 products counts as 40 changes. Resources affected counts each product or other item once, however often it changed.

With a named actor counts the changes where Shopify's activity log let Actorly match a person or app. That match is a correlation, never proof, and the other changes stay Unknown.

On Actorly Watch, Restores left reads "of 1 in 30 days". On Actorly Restore it reads Unlimited. History kept is how far back your plan keeps change history.

What Needs your attention means.

Restores that did not finishRestores that failed or hit a conflict in the last 30 days. Open Recovery to see which values were not put back.
Resource types Actorly could not readActorly could not finish importing these, so changes to them are not being recorded yet.
Records that could not be processedShopify sent these notifications and Actorly could not write them to your history.
Resource types not checked for deletions latelyA list with no deletions is not a guarantee that none happened.
History still importingCounts for these resource types are incomplete until their import finishes.
Resource types not watched yetActorly has not started recording changes to these.

If some checks cannot be read, Overview says so and does not claim that nothing needs attention.

The setup guide.

1Choose a plan. Pick Actorly Watch or Actorly Restore.
2Let the first sync finish. Actorly is importing your store's current state so changes have a before.
3Try a restore. Edit a product title in Shopify, then open that change in Changes and choose Restore this value.

You can show or hide the steps, and the guide counts how many are complete.

Quick actions.

The Quick actions card has View changes, Restore a value and Export history. Export is part of Actorly Restore.

Questions.

Why is a count lower than I expected?

Counts for a resource type are incomplete until its first import finishes. Overview lists what is still importing under History still importing.
