Your organisation is a living thing. Roles are created, circles split, accountabilities move, policies come and go. In Nestr, every one of those governance changes, whether made by a person in a meeting or by an AI agent filling a role, is recorded as it happens. Governance lookback turns that record into a time machine: rewind to any date and see your roles and circles exactly as they were.
The map redraws to show your organisation as it was at that moment. Roles and circles that were later deleted come back into view, anything created after the date disappears, and renamed items show the names they had then. A banner across the top keeps you oriented: Viewing your roles and circles as they were on Mar 5, 2026. Click into any circle or role to read its purpose, accountabilities, domains and policies as they were on that day.
Done exploring? Click back to today in the banner, the × next to the timeline, or drag the slider back to the right edge.
The other way in starts from a decision. When a governance proposal removes a role, circle or policy, the removed item stays visible in the proposal's list of changes — in the proposal itself and in the governance meeting report. Hover over it and Nestr offers: Click to view this in context, as it was just before it was removed.
One click takes you back to the moment just before the deletion. A removed role opens next to the circle it lived in, with everything it held at the time; a removed circle opens on its own, showing the roles it contained. The timeline is active too, so you can keep exploring from there. Slide further back to see how the structure evolved before the removal.
Lookback can never rewrite the past. While you are viewing history, editing is paused: if you try to change something, Nestr lets you know that changes can't be saved while viewing governance history. Head back to today to make your change. Looking back is also personal, it only changes what you see, while your colleagues keep working in the present.
On the Pro plan (a Pro trial counts) you can travel all the way back to the day your workspace was created.
On other plans, lookback reaches one month into the past. Pick an older date and the slider gently stops at the one-month mark, with a note that governance history is limited to 1 month on your current plan. Workspace admins can upgrade right from that message; members can ping their admin from it. See Pricing & plans for what is included on each plan.
Either way, your history is recorded in full from day one. The limit only affects how far you can look, not what is kept. Upgrading later unlocks the whole archive.
