Point-in-Time Recovery is a paid feature. If you’re using Infisical Cloud,
then it’s available under the Pro Tier. If you’re self-hosting Infisical,
then you should contact [email protected] to purchase an enterprise license
to use it.
Understanding commits
Similar to Git, a commit in Infisical represents a snapshot of changes made to your project’s resources at a specific point in time. Each commit is scoped to an environment and folder within it. Unlike the legacy snapshot system, the new commits interface provides granular tracking of individual changes, allowing you to see exactly what was modified, added, or removed in each commit.Accessing commits
From your secrets management interface, you can access the commits functionality by selecting the Commits button. This button sits at the right of the secrets table header and shows the number of commits for the current folder (e.g., 6 Commits).
Commits list view
The commit history panel displays a comprehensive chronological history of all changes made to your environment and folders:
- Chronological sorting: Commits are grouped by date
- Commit information: Each commit shows:
- Commit message
- Author information
- Timestamp
- Unique commit hash identifier
- How many resources the commit added, updated, or deleted
- Search: Use the search bar to find a commit by message, secret key, or folder name
- Filter and sort: Narrow the list to a single author with Author, and switch between oldest and newest first with the sort control
Detailed commit inspection
Selecting any commit from the list opens a detailed view showing the list of changes made in that commit.
Change categories
The commit changes details can be grouped into the following categories: Folder changes- Shows folder additions, modifications, or deletions
- Displays the folder properties that changed, including:
- Folder name
- Folder description
- Lists all secrets that were added, updated, or removed
- Shows the complete secret configuration including:
- Secret key and value
- Comments, tags, and metadata
- Multi-line encoding
- Values are displayed with appropriate masking for security
- Each resource carries an Added, Updated, or Deleted badge
- The previous state sits in a red panel on the left and the new state in a green panel on the right
- Select Expand all to full state to see every property rather than only the ones that changed
Restoration options
Each commit provides two distinct restoration methods accessible via the Restore Options dropdown:
Revert changes
This option provides surgical precision for undoing specific modifications:- Granular Control: Reverts only the specific changes introduced in that individual commit
- Selective Restoration: Preserves all other changes made after the commit
- Targeted Undo: Perfect for reversing a specific problematic change without affecting other work
- Minimal Impact: Only affects the resources that were modified in that particular commit
- Use Case: Ideal when you want to undo a specific change while keeping all other modifications intact
Roll back to this commit
This option performs a complete restoration to the selected point in time:
- Complete State Restoration: Returns the entire folder to its exact state at the time of this commit
- Restore all child folders: If enabled, it’ll also restore all nested folders to their exact state at the time of this commit.
- Destructive Operation: Discards ALL changes made after the selected commit
- New Commit Creation: Creates a new commit representing this rollback operation
- Use Case: Ideal when you want to completely undo a series of changes and return to a known good state
