[🚀 | Feature request]: Workspace History & Restore

[mmmarcos]

Workspace History (previously named "Timestamp") & Restore must be added to the V3 branch.

User Stories

1. File recovery

   • As a user with role Contributor (or greater) in a workspace,
   • I want to be able to restore a file that has been deleted from a directory within the workspace,
   • so I can recover from a human error/mishandling.

2. Workspace history

   • As a user with role Contributor (or greater)** in a workspace,
   • I want to be able to consult the state of a workspace at a specific moment in time,
   • so I can recover from a major data-loss or to show a third party an irrefutable proof of the state of the workspace.

Key insights

• Workspace History in V2 was not user-friendly --> UI/UX should be taken into account for the new design.
• Parsec Server in V3 already implements some basic workspace history based on V2
  • all workspace changes are tracked
  • read operations can specify a at datetime
• At first step, Libparsec could implement and expose the same functions proposed by Parsec Server.
• GUI:
• Related-features that can be revisited depending on what is possible with the current API:
  • History of file versions (users are familiar with this kind of feature, e.g. Google Docs)
  • Trash can
