Review and revert
Every run is recorded with its exact changes. You can inspect it, approve a run that was held for review, and revert a run that wrote the wrong data.
The preview
- Totals of New records, changed, Unchanged, Skipped (no match) and To delete, with the old and new value of every changed field.
- Errors that block the run, such as a value that does not fit the field type or a duplicate key, are listed under Resolve these issues before importing.
- Warnings that need a decision are listed under Take a closer look before importing.
- A preview is valid for ten minutes. If you edit the import or someone changes the mapped fields in Airtable meanwhile, Rowvela asks you to preview again instead of writing stale changes.
Run history
Run history lists every run with who or what started it and how many records it created, changed or deleted. Open a run to see each row. Rows are marked as applied, not sent or uncertain, so a failed run tells you exactly what reached Airtable. History is kept for 31 or 90 days depending on the plan.
Approving a held run
A run held by the review guard shows Waiting for your review. Open it, check the changes and select Approve and import to write exactly those changes, or Dismiss to drop them. A held run expires after 24 hours; dismiss it and preview the import again.
Reverting a run
Open the run and select Revert this run. Rowvela shows a preview of what it will put back; nothing changes until you confirm.
| Situation | What revert does |
|---|---|
| A field still holds the value the run wrote | Restores the previous value |
| A record the run created is unchanged since | Deletes it |
| A record the run deleted | Creates it again, with a new Airtable record ID |
| Someone edited the record after the run | Leaves it alone and lists it |
| The run could not confirm a batch | Leaves those rows alone and lists them |
Each run can be reverted once, and a revert cannot be reverted; run the import again instead. Reverts do not count towards your monthly rows.
