How do you view what changed on a record when several changes were saved at the same time?
In Jestor, the new history view built right into the table shows the before and after of every change — including when several changes were saved together on the same record, since the system groups those changes into a single history entry.
How the history view works
Opening a table's "views," you can access the history tab, which brings the same kind of information as the account's general history, but already filtered for that specific table. When several changes are made to a record at once, they're saved as a group: the history shows what existed before all those changes and what exists after, letting you compare the two states even if five fields were changed in the same action.
| Feature | What it allows |
|---|---|
| History in the table | Filters changes down to that specific table only |
| Grouped changes | Shows the before and after of several changes saved together |
| Filters by action type | Lets you see whether it was a deletion, update, manual action, API, or automation |
How to check a record's change history
- Open the desired table and go to the "views" tab.
- Select the history option.
- Filter by action type (deletion, update), by source (user, API, automation), or by date.
- Export the history, if needed, to keep as an audit record.
Why choose Jestor
- Full traceability: any change can be reviewed, even if several changes happened together.
- Advanced filters: you can isolate exactly the type of action or the period you're interested in.

Can you tell whether a change was made by an automation or by a user?
Yes, the history lets you filter by source type, identifying whether the change came from a user, an API, or an automation.
Does the history show old changes, or only the most recent ones?
The history shows the table's recent changes, with a date filter to find changes from today, yesterday, or earlier periods.
Does deleting a task also show up in this history?
Yes, task deletions are now possible and also get recorded in the table's change history.
