}

This object can appear both within the record envelope (e.g. type) and record content, depending on the record type.

Properties

  • entity Entity

    • Current entity representing the target record’s initial author.

  • original_entity Entity optional

    • Entity that represented the target record’s initial author at the time the referencing record version was created, if different.

  • id RecordId

    • Unique identifier of the record within the scope of its initial author.

  • hash VersionHash

A link can be to a record version on any compatible server, identified by the author’s entity.

  "hash": "31ef2a3970cc4dad83875e557a2c509afcc49bf0e84d48bd90f2a8ecedbe0b38"
}

When a user changes entity, the entity that was active at the time of the referencing record version creation is returned as the original_entity. This allows clients and server to validate a record’s version_hash.
