Re: [irsg] Minutes being messed with?

["Andrew G. Malis" <[e-mail]>]

Linda,

If you click the clock icon in the upper right, you get a time slider that
allows you to go back change by change all the way to the blank page at at
the start if you like, or anywhere in-between. So yes, the page can be
recovered. It would still be nice to not have to, though.

Cheers,
Andy
