Check where a memory came from, and undo it
Trace any fact back to its source, read its version history, archive or restore a shared page, and permanently forget a personal one.
Somebody's Talent said something odd, or a page contradicts what you know. Every memory in TalentOS can be traced and reversed. Here is how.
Find the fact behind the paragraph
Section paragraphs are summaries. The facts are the record.
- Open Memory and pick the space.
- Click the section heading to open it. The paragraph is replaced by the individual rows that support it.
- Each row shows its text, its date, and where it came from.
Personal rows say Added by you, Captured from your Talent, or Learned from your conversation. Shared rows carry the proposer, the decision, and the source document or integration when one was recorded.
You will never see raw conversation text, prompts, run identifiers or another member's personal memory as provenance on a shared page. Personal context is never company provenance.
Read the history
Open a row and you get its versions in order. Every accepted change writes a new version rather than editing the old one in place, so history is complete by construction. Only the current version can be acted on.
Links of the form ?memory=... stay valid across edits. An old link resolves to the safe current version of that page and tells you the version you asked for was superseded.
Undo a shared page
- Archive it if it is out of date. Retrieval stops immediately, and the page moves to Archived.
- Restore it if you retired it too soon. Restoring writes a new current version.
Archiving is reversible and nothing accepted is ever hard deleted through these screens. Managers curate their own departments, admins and the owner curate any active department and the company space, and members propose archive and restore the same way they propose a change.
Undo a personal memory
You have three options on your own rows:
- Edit to correct the wording. The old text stays in history.
- Archive to take it out of use. Reversible.
- Forget to remove it permanently.
Forget is destructive and it is meant to be. It deletes the fact and its entire version chain, so nothing you asked to be forgotten survives in history. It also leaves a marker so the same content cannot be silently re-saved later by a background capture. Archive is the reversible one. Use Forget when the content itself should not exist.
Export
Every space offers an export, so you can take a copy of what is stored before a clean up or an audit.
Editing supersedes, it does not remove. If a stale fact keeps showing up in your Talent's work, check that you archived or forgot the old row rather than only adding a corrected one beside it. Two contradictory rows both stay eligible.
A worked example
A department page still says campaign reports go out on Thursday, but the team moved them to Friday. Open the section, trace the Thursday rule to its source, and edit or archive it before adding the Friday rule. Then check history to confirm the stale version is no longer current.
What to check
- A row has no source label. It was added by hand rather than captured, or its source could not be safely resolved. That is expected, not a bug.
- Restore was refused. The space is at its page ceiling, or a newer version already occupies that page. Archive something retired, then restore.
- You archived a page and your Talent still used it. Confirm you archived in the space the Talent actually reads for that person. A company page and a department page can say similar things, and company wins.
- A member cannot archive a shared page. Members propose archive; a manager, admin or the owner decides it.
- You need a personal memory gone for good. Archive is not enough. Use Forget.
Turn a document into memory
Upload a policy, a brief or a deck and turn it into short reviewable facts, without pasting the whole file into every conversation.
