Cell History & Restore
Every change to a mark is kept. If a grade looks wrong, you can see who set it, when, and what it was before. If you need to, you can put the earlier value back.
Open the history of a cell
Right-click the cell in Grades → Grades by Discipline. A Cell history panel opens on the right. You need the permission See a cell's history.
The panel is a timeline, newest first. Each entry shows:
- who made the change (You if it was you),
- when ("just now", "12 min ago", "3 d ago"),
- the old value and the new value,
- the source of the change.
| Source | Where the change came from |
|---|---|
| Manual | Someone typed or picked it in the grid. |
| Batch | A paste, a fill or a bulk entry. |
| Import | A spreadsheet import. See Importing Marks & Targets. |
| Restore | Someone restored an earlier value. |
| Calculation | A formula produced it. |
If the cell has never changed, the panel says "No history for this cell yet." Saves and bulk edits will appear as a timeline.
INFO
A cell that is calculated has no history of its own. Its value changes when the marks it is built from change. Look at the history of those cells instead.
Restore an earlier value
Restore needs its own permission, Restore an earlier mark. The permission exists because a restore overwrites a colleague's judgement with an older one.
- Right-click the cell.
- Find the entry you want to go back to.
- Press Restore to and the value, for example Restore to B.
- Press the confirmation button to confirm, or Cancel.
The restore is itself a change. It writes a new entry in the history with the source Restore. Nothing is erased. If you restored by mistake, you can restore again to the value you had.
Example
Alex's Report Grade for Term 1A is C. The history shows:
| When | Who | Change | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 d ago | Ms Ionescu | empty → B | Manual |
| 2 d ago | Mr Dumitru | B → C | Manual |
Mr Dumitru typed C in the wrong row. You open the panel, press Restore to B on the first entry and confirm. The cell is B again, and a new Restore entry is added at the top.
When a restore is refused
Restore uses the normal write rules. It is refused when:
- the reporting period is locked (see Locking a Period),
- the column is under review or approved (see Checking & Approving Columns),
- the column is locked or leadership-only,
- the markbook is not one you may edit.
How long history is kept
History stays with the cell. It is not removed when a period is locked or a report is published. You can also show and revert a whole import. See Importing Marks & Targets.
History on the outcomes grid
The Learning outcomes grid has the same panel. Right-click a cell to see every judgement made for that pupil and outcome, and restore an earlier level. See Marking Outcomes.
