Content Revisions

Mistakes happen. That is why Saint CMS includes a built-in Time Machine.

Every time a record is updated or deleted, the Go engine silently fires a background task (takeSnapshot) to save the exact state of that record into the internal _saint_revisions vault before the changes are applied.

Fetching Revision History

You can fetch the complete history of any specific record using the Revisions endpoint[cite: 23].

GET /api/revisions

(Note: This route is locked and requires your sk_live_ key).

Query Parameters Required[cite: 23]:

• collection: The name of your model (e.g., product)
• id: The unique record ID

Example Request:

const res = await fetch('http://localhost:3333/api/revisions?collection=product&id=8a7b6c5d', {
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer sk_live_your_api_key_here'
  }
});
const history = await res.json();
