# Browse and compare backed-up data

Look through every item you have backed up, including deleted ones, and compare it with your live store.

Backup & Restore Tipo lets you open any item it has backed up and see it next to the same item in your live store. You can do this before you restore anything, to check what changed.

## Open your backed-up data

You don't need to type a web address. Open the app from your Shopify admin, go to **Home**, and select a row in the **Store data** card. Each row opens the list for that data type. Rows you turned off in Settings still show **Not included** but you can still open them to see older backups.
