Know which records you are viewing
Restoring brings an archived record back into main history. You do not need to recreate the timer or copy its note into a new session to make it visible again.
Make the smallest useful change
Open Archived sessions, find the intended entry, and use its restore action. Return to History and locate it by completion date rather than expecting it to appear at the top.
Each completed record has its own start and end. A valid correction keeps end at or after start and no later than now; a running session instead uses its stored start and the current clock.
Verify the result
Restored entries are sorted with the other records by end time. A session from last month returns to its historical position and can change the summaries covering that time.
| Check | Practical meaning |
|---|---|
| Restore | Keep original session data |
| Position | Determined by end time |
Preserve an honest history
If you cannot see the restored entry, examine the month or day filter. Restoring preserves the original dates instead of moving the session to today's calendar square.
The month calendar can filter the list to a selected day. Tapping that selected day clears the selection; changing months also clears it, so always read the list heading before assuming records are absent.
A worked walkthrough
Imagine restoring an entry from two months ago. It returns to main history sorted by its original end, so it may not appear beside today's newest record. Navigate to the old completion month or use the list to find its historical position. Read its note and duration to confirm you restored the intended entry. If the session met its own saved goal, it can also affect calculations that use main-history records for qualifying dates; if it falls outside the current seven-day view, today's weekly chart may not change. These outcomes are compatible because different summaries use different scopes. If a filter still hides the restored row, clear that view restriction before repeating the restore attempt. The original timestamps should explain where the record belongs, while the action changes which retained collection contains it.
