When you create a topic, the system automatically collects the data for the last 30 days. If you need deeper historical data, you need to run the history collection.

History collection via keywords

To launch the history collection via keywords:

1. Navigate to your topic
2. Go to «Settings»
3. Select «History collection»:

4. Select the period for historical data collection and press «Start collection»:

You can track the history collection in the same section:

Press «Stop» to stop history collection If necessary.

☝️ If you change the search query or filters, the history collection stops.

💡 There are no limits on the number of collections and the number of mentions of historical data.

History collection via channels

If you need to collect historical data from a specific channel, the history collection via keywords will not help to fulfill this task. You need to run the history collection for the specific channel.

Go to the channels tab:

1. Press the clock icon

2. Open the calendar

3. Choose the starting date for the history to be collected

4. Start the history collection
