Before, it only carried the action, address, prompt and page. New internal events cover reading a version, listing versions and opening an entry stored in the cloud.\n\nTwo new artifact-preview settings also appear:\n\n- `artifactPreviewEmulator`\n\n- `artifactPreviewEngine`\n\n**Why**\n\nThis points to artifacts that keep a history, where earlier versions can be listed and read.\n\n- Area: Artifacts\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
