# history.snapshots

## Overview

Rebuild a deleted row from the last thing history recorded about it.

## `last_recorded` {#last_recorded}

Return an unsaved ``model`` instance holding the row's last recorded values, or ``None``.

A deleted row still has to be nameable. A record that references one prints something about it,
and reading the live row would raise. The instance this returns is never saved; it exists so
``__str__`` and the like have the values they need.

``None`` comes back when the model records no history, or when history holds nothing for that
row. A field history excludes is simply absent from the instance, keeping its model default.
