Parking these changes here so long

TODO:

• Think about how we'll handle related models
• User needs to confirm before rolling back

@SmittieC: Thank you for the opportunity to review your changes. Based on the PR objectives you've provided, here are some suggestions:

1. Handling Related Models:

   • Data Consistency: When rolling back to a previous version, it's crucial to maintain data consistency across related models. Consider implementing a mechanism that ensures all related models are rolled back in sync to prevent discrepancies.
   • Cascade Rollbacks: Implement cascading rollbacks for models that have dependencies. Ensure that rolling back one model triggers rollbacks in all related models as needed.

2. User Confirmation Before Rolling Back:

   • Confirmation Dialog: Implement a confirmation dialog that clearly explains the consequences of rolling back. This can help prevent accidental rollbacks.
   • Safety Checks: Include additional prompts or require the user to type a confirmation phrase to acknowledge the action.

3. Error Handling and Validation:

   • Validation Checks: Before performing a rollback, validate that the operation won't violate any data integrity constraints.
   • Exception Handling: Ensure that exceptions are properly caught and handled to prevent application crashes during the rollback process.

4. Logging and Auditing:

   • Audit Trail: Maintain an audit log of all rollback actions, including user information and timestamps. This is important for tracking changes and accountability.
   • Verbose Logging: Provide detailed logs in case of errors to facilitate debugging.

5. Permission Management:

   • Access Control: Only allow authorized users to perform rollbacks. Implement role-based access control to restrict this functionality.
   • Authentication Checks: Verify user credentials and permissions before executing the rollback.

6. User Experience Enhancements:

   • Progress Indicators: If the rollback operation is time-consuming, provide progress indicators to keep the user informed.
   • Success Notifications: Notify the user upon successful completion of the rollback, and provide details about the changes made.

7. Testing Considerations:

   • Unit Tests: Write unit tests for the rollback functionality, including edge cases and failure scenarios.
   • Integration Tests: Ensure that the rollback interacts correctly with related models in an integrated environment.

8. Documentation:

   • Update Documentation: Document the rollback process, including any prerequisites and potential impacts on related models.
   • User Guides: If applicable, update user guides or help resources to assist users in understanding the new feature.

9. Future Extensions:

   • Automation Scripts: Consider creating scripts or tools to automate repetitive rollback tasks if this is a frequent operation.
   • Rollback Strategies: Explore different rollback strategies, such as point-in-time recovery or version snapshots, to enhance flexibility.
