IntuneCommander

The time-machine

The time-machine is IntuneCommander’s differentiator. Every sync appends a snapshot of your tenant’s configuration to an append-only store, and every change you make is snapshotted too. Nothing is overwritten — so you can always look back, compare, and roll forward or back.

What it gives you

Section titled “What it gives you”
  • Audit Timeline (Overview) — a chronological view of what changed, when.
  • Config snapshots — point-in-time copies of each object’s full state.
  • Drift detection — what has diverged from a baseline or an earlier snapshot, severity-classified.
  • Full-text search — find a setting, value, or object across the whole captured history.
  • Point-in-time restore — re-apply any past snapshot’s body to bring an object back to how it was.

Keeping it fresh

Section titled “Keeping it fresh”

Run a sync to capture the current tenant state:

Terminal window
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:5099/sync

The status bar’s Sync now does the same. Because the store is append-only, syncing never loses history — it just adds the latest point in time.

Restore = undo that outlives the session

Section titled “Restore = undo that outlives the session”

Because every write is snapshotted (see Edit safely), History → restore re-applies a chosen earlier snapshot. Combined with the write path, that’s point-in-time rollback: if a change causes trouble next week, restore the object to last week’s known-good state.
