Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

StandardObjectName History

StandardObjectNameHistory is the model for all history objects associated with standard objects. These objects represent the history of changes to the values in the fields of a standard object.

The object name is variable and uses StandardObjectNameHistory syntax. For example, AccountHistory represents the history of changes to the values of an account record’s fields. We list the available associated history objects at the end of this topic. For specific version information, see the documentation for the standard object.

Supported Calls

describeSObjects(), getDeleted(), getUpdated(), query(), retrieve()

You can also enable delete() in API version 42.0 and later. See Enable delete of Field History and Field History Archive.

Special Access Rules

For specific special access rules, if any, see the documentation for the standard object. For example, for AccountHistory, see the special access rules for Account.
