# Records

The original line your agent wrote, behind any statement on the page.

Nothing on a report is asserted without something behind it. The word `record` beside a statement opens what that is: the line in the file your agent wrote, where there is one, and always what Salidium stored.

- **Salidium event**: What Salidium derived and stored.
- **Provider record**: The original line from the agent's own file, with its path and line number.
- **How we know**: When it happened, which lane it belongs to, its turn, what was redacted, its id.

The arrow keys step to the record before and after this one in stored order, and the drawer will save both halves as a JSON file. Every [keyboard shortcut](https://salidium.com/docs/keyboard.md) is listed together.

A provider line is not always there to show. The commonest reason is that there is none: an event that arrived by hook, or one Salidium derived, has no line in anyone's file. Beyond that the content may have been suppressed as sensitive, the file may be gone, or the record may have moved or changed since it was read. Salidium says which applies rather than showing whatever now occupies the line.
