# Introduction

In the event your organization is audited or receives a complaint, you may be required to demonstrate/produce documentation of your consent notice and/or collection of end-user consent data. The versions and proofs module enables your organization to retrieve historical data on published notices and end-user consent records in order to respond to these events. 

Additionally, versions and proofs can be used to investigate differences across consent notices and its impact on your organization (e.g. loss of revenue from removing a vendor) and/or track published changes made to notices.

{% hint style="info" %}
Proof of consent is available within the versions and proofs module 24 hours after consent is provided by the end-user.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.didomi.io/versions-and-proofs/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
