# Snapshots & History

# Snapshots & History

Vehicle snapshots provide recoverable copies of vehicle state such as properties, health, fuel and position.

```lua
local snapshots = exports['nord_garages']:GetVehicleSnapshots(plateOrVin, 20)
local history = exports['nord_garages']:GetVehicleHistory(plateOrVin, 50)

exports['nord_garages']:RestoreVehicleSnapshot(plateOrVin, snapshotId, actor)
```

## Use cases

- Recover after a bad customization/integration write.
- Compare prior vehicle state.
- Admin investigation.
- Restore a known state without rewriting the ownership row manually.

Restores should be treated as administrative/integration operations and should be auditable via the actor value.
