Priorly
Questions, answered
What Priorly does, what it can see in your store, and what happens when something goes wrong.
Install Priorly- What does Priorly record?
- Every change to your products, collections, pages and blog articles: which field changed, what it held before, what it holds now, and when. It starts recording the moment it is installed — it cannot show you a version from before that, because nobody kept one.
- What can the app see in my store?
- Products and content, read and write. Nothing else: no customers, no orders, no payment details, no staff accounts. The write permission exists for one reason — putting a version back when you ask it to.
- How far back does the history go?
- 30 days on the free plan, 90 on Basic, 365 on Advanced. Recording is identical on all three; the plan decides how long what was recorded is kept.
- Can I put back one field instead of the whole product?
- Yes. You choose what goes back — a price, a description, one collection — and everything you did not choose is left exactly as it is.
- What happens to the version that is live now?
- It goes into the history like any other. A restore is itself a change, so it can be undone the same way, and the version you replaced is still there tomorrow.
- What if Priorly missed a change?
- It tells you. When something could not be captured — a notification from Shopify that never arrived, a permission removed for a while — the timeline shows a gap with the window it covers and the reason for it, instead of leaving a quiet stretch that looks like nothing happened.
- Does it change anything in my store on its own?
- No. Nothing is written to your catalog unless you press restore. Left alone it only reads and records.
- What happens to my history if I uninstall?
- It stays, so a reinstall inside your retention window gets it back. Shopify then sends an erase request 48 hours after the uninstall, and that removes everything belonging to the shop — every version, gap and restore. If you want to keep the record itself, take it before you uninstall: on Advanced, the whole catalog as it stood at any moment, as CSV or JSON. That file is yours and the erase does not touch it.
