Now keep it safe: three things
  1. Keep your photos and files unedited. The receipt only matches the originals. Put them in an album such as “My records”.
  2. Save this receipt to your camera roll.

    Keep the receipt file too. The image is a handy copy; checking needs the file.

  3. Email it to yourself.Email it to myself

    Your mail app opens a draft. Attach your receipt image and receipt file. Don’t attach your photos or documents. Timevolt does not send it or know whether it was sent.

      How to keep notes that hold up

      Write notes as soon as you can. Keep the original account rather than replacing it later; the venue decides what weight it gets.

      1. Write it down straight away, on paper or in the box on a step.
      2. Put the date, time and place at the top, and who you spoke to.
      3. Use their words where you can; separate what you saw from what you were told.
      4. Sign or initial a paper note, photograph it and add the photo.
      5. Never edit an old note. Add a new dated entry when something changes. A device save time is not independent time evidence or proof of event order.

      Keep tree removal flags and reasons for changes

      Staff said poor tree records left flagged trees uncut; the power firm disputed that and fire blame. A deal set a fine, work paid by the firm's owners and better tree records with dates and map locations. The firm denied fault and did not admit the claims.

      Related: vegetation risk priority and work planning

      A power firm's changing risk lists and work records did not show it put its most risky lines first. The watchdog ordered more checks and reports of fixes. It later confirmed the fixes and ended that first step, while other safety checks went on.

      Related: vegetation clearances and refusal records

      Officials questioned if trees were clear of lines and if a power firm recorded trimming costs the right way. A deal set rules for checks and a list of people refusing trims, then ended the case. The watchdog did not find that rules had been broken.

      Proves

      A completed time receipt shows that the exact selected file existed by the independently witnessed time. You can check whether a later copy has the same bytes. It does not establish creation time, authorship, identity, event order, location or the truth of the contents.
