The Revision tab swapped the whole inspector frame for the properties diff, which renders nothing when a document has no property fields, so pages and collections opened an empty panel. The revision-aware icon and cover lookups never ran either, since those controls only mount in the other branch.
Revisions stored before these metadata keys were revisioned carry no copy of the icon, cover, collection schema or field values. Reading that silence as "empty" cleared them on the live document. Revisions now carry a format marker, and restoring an unmarked one applies the content and leaves every metadata value alone. Formulas are materialised output rather than authored input, so they are skipped and recomputed from the values that land, the same way apply_meta_updates does it. And wp_update_post no longer leaves its own revision behind, which used to record restored content against pre-restore metadata whenever the pre-restore snapshot found nothing to save.
Rows and backlinks are deliberately outside core-data, so receiving the restored record never reached them and mounted views kept stale field values, relations and link counts. Also trims the revision cache invalidation to the one query anything actually resolves, tells the user when a restore could only apply content, and stops a failed restore from raising an unhandled rejection.

What
Closes #137.
Cortext now has a History panel in the editor. You can open it from the document toolbar or the sidebar row menu, preview an older version without editing it by accident, see what changed in the content and properties, and restore that version. When you restore, the version you were on is kept in history too.
