Statuses
A signal is in one of two states.
There is no pause or disable. To change what a live signal counts, edit it and activate again. To stop it, delete it.
Versions
Every click on Activate Signal saves a numbered, immutable version with the configuration at that moment: definition, categories, cutoffs, sources, and backfill start. The newest version is the one that counts. The status pill at the top of the signal page reads Draft · not saved, Still tuning when you have unsaved changes on a live signal, or Live with the saved cutoff. Click it to open the Versions rail.- The rail lists every version with when it was saved.
- Open a version to restore its configuration into the editor. Restoring does not delete later versions. Click Activate Signal to make it the live version.
- Revert discards unsaved edits and returns to the live version.
Backfill
Activating a signal starts a backfill: Tempo collects every matching observation from your history, back to the version’s backfill start. The default is all history. Backfill runs in the background and you can keep working. The monitoring page reports progress:
The Backfill Window card on Latest Activity shows the window the live version covers, for example “All history” or “6 Months”. Comparisons with the previous period appear once the window covers at least 60 days.
Conversations processed after activation are not added to the signal automatically yet.
Duplicate and share
From the … menu on a signal page:- Duplicate signal creates a draft with the same configuration, named after the original with “(copy)” added, and opens it in edit mode.
- Share signal copies the page link. People with access can open it.
Delete a signal
Deleting is permanent. It removes the signal, every version, and every recorded match. Source observations and artifacts are kept.1
