# revisions

query · in the family [Reading your records](/reference/reading-your-records/)

## What it does

A record’s full change history — every saved version, what changed, when, and why, with the stated reason kept word for word.

One construct's archived revision history: the full prior items, cause-stamped, from the revision archive. The target must exist in YOUR tenant (a foreign/unknown target refuses NOT_FOUND); a DOOMED record's history remains readable (the dooming IS history); revisions land moments after each commit (the archive rides the change stream). limit defaults 100, clamps at 200. order defaults oldest (the walkable history); order: newest answers the LATEST rows first, UNPAGINATED (a nextToken with newest refuses) — the last-touch lane's read. Requires authentication.

## What happens

Read-only. History can’t be edited or deleted; entries appear moments after each change.

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `targetType` | [String](/types/#scalars) `String!` | yes | No further notes. |
| `targetConstructId` | [ID](/types/#scalars) `ID!` | yes | No further notes. |
| `limit` | [Int](/types/#scalars) | no | How many records to answer at most; a page may hold fewer. |
| `nextToken` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | The cursor from the previous page, passed back exactly as received. |
| `order` | [String](/types/#scalars) | no | No further notes. |

## Returns

[ConstructRevisionPage](/types/ConstructRevisionPage/) `ConstructRevisionPage!` — One page of a construct's revision history.

This is a page: `items` holds the records and `nextToken` the cursor for the next page — pass it back verbatim until it is null. See [paging](/guides/paging-and-the-cursor-grammar/).
