News has a revision history

PressTrace

Inspect how an article, headline, citations, and corrections changed after publication.

For readers, journalists, researchers, and editors who need to distinguish the current page from the publication record.

Current availability

A public beta is available for testing at beta.argand.org. Beta means the workflow is open for evaluation, not finished or fully proven.

Why use it

A smaller path from intent to outcome.

  1. 01

    Compare meaningful changes

    Separate corrections and rewritten claims from routine page churn.

  2. 02

    Follow cited sources

    See which evidence appeared, moved, or disappeared over time.

  3. 03

    Keep the timeline

    A dated record makes the edit history legible and checkable.

Development record

What is real now—and what still has to be earned.

The badge names this product’s place in the portfolio, not public availability. This record separates working parts from missing product proof.

In the code today

  • A public beta route at beta.argand.org/presstrace

  • A named stage and an explicit separation between the marketing record and the working surface

Before broader release
