Features

  • Automatic record of create/update/destroy events
  • has_paper_trail for seamless model integration
  • Query models by version timestamp or change fields
  • Restore models to previous states or revert changes
  • Configurable metadata (who made change, why, etc.)
  • Support for custom versioning strategies and associations
