Incident review recordings are useful when they preserve the timeline and state the team actually needs, not when they capture a huge amount of unrelated context that makes the important details harder to find later.

Common questions
What makes an incident review recording useful?
A useful incident review recording preserves the relevant timeline and state clearly enough that the team can inspect what happened without searching through unrelated noise.
Should incident recordings capture everything?
Usually not. Narrower evidence is often more useful than a giant session dump.
Why is local review helpful in incident review?
Because it helps confirm that the clip actually contains the relevant evidence before it enters the broader review workflow.
Incident review is about evidence quality
The point of an incident review recording is not just to prove that something happened. It is to preserve the relevant state and sequence clearly enough that the team can learn from it later.
Narrow scope improves signal
A narrower recording is often better for incident review because it reduces unrelated process noise and makes the key evidence easier to inspect.
Review before broader distribution
A quick review step catches cases where the wrong screen was captured or the incident state was not actually visible long enough to be useful.
Why this topic fits the product
Local-first review is useful here because incident recordings often need to be checked before they become part of a wider evidence or retrospective workflow.
