I wonder how a customer of my app, that I intend to sell as SaaS can restore previous versions of records.
I am implementing versioning in some reports but it seems a waste of time since the background database of bubble already have this capability.
A dream would be the function kind of time machine, where a record can be visualized back in time, just like docs in Google.
Wouldn’t be amazing?
Maybe is something critical for me because my product is a record management Platform…
Sure, that would be amazing. I think you could make this happen on your own, but not as granular as Google allows. In my apps that require “versioning” I create each singular “thing” as a list of things. In this way I am able to continually create a new version of a thing a user editing instead of overwriting the previous version on save. I’ve gotten pretty far with this method, it’s not amazing by any means, but people like having the ability to look at all history states of objects in the database whether it’s text, audio, video etc. This obviously incurs additional cost so be prepared to store more data as well as your database requests taking a bit longer (since you’re parsing lists all the time).
