What Actorly tracks, and what it can't.

Know what you are getting before you install. Actorly lists 27 parts of a Shopify store. It tracks 25 and does not track 2 yet. For each part: when a change shows up, whether you get the old and new value, whether it can say who changed it, and whether you can put a field back. The "no" answers stay on the page.

How to read the table.

YesBuilt for this part of your store.
Some fieldsBuilt for a stated set of fields, not all of them.
When Shopify reports itDepends on Shopify reporting it, so a name is not guaranteed.
Not yetPlanned and not built. It changes here when it ships.
Not possibleIt can't happen. The cell gives the reason, and says whether the limit is Shopify's or Actorly's own choice.
"On a scheduled check"Shopify sends no change notice for these 8 kinds, so Actorly looks on a schedule: weekly on Actorly Watch, daily on Actorly Restore. A change appears at the next check, not the moment it happens.

Why it sometimes says Unknown.

When something changes, Shopify tells Actorly what, but usually not who. Actorly lines each product change up with an entry in Shopify's own activity log for the same record, within 90 seconds. A clear match shows a name and how sure Actorly is. No clear match shows Unknown.

For some kinds of record Shopify keeps no record of who at all. There the change is Unknown from the start: Actorly can tell you what changed and when, but not who. That is Shopify's limit, and the table says so.

LikelyAn entry in Shopify's activity log matched this change closely in time.Likely
PossibleAn entry in Shopify's activity log was near this change in time. The match is weak.Possible
UnknownShopify does not record who made this change. This will not change later.Unknown
Unknown is never replaced by a later guess. "Not attributed yet" and "Investigating" are waiting states, shown while Actorly checks.

Start the record today.

Your history starts the day you install, so the best time is before the next edit. Actorly Watch is free and records the same 25 tracked parts as Actorly Restore.
